Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is set to fly to Munich on Friday for crucial talks with the new US administration. The meeting comes as Washington grapples with a concession made by former President Trump to Vladimir Putin ahead of their negotiations to end the war. In a surprise call, Zelensky learned of Trump’s concession on Wednesday night, highlighting the lack of communication between the two leaders since Trump’s re-election. Key officials including Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth, and Vice-President JD Vance will be in attendance at the Munich Security Conference, where Zelensky hopes to persuade the US not to compromise too much with Russia.
