The director of the Munich Security Conference (MSC) hopes the “contours” of a peace agreement for Ukraine could be reached at the international summit in southern Germany this weekend.
“We hope – and we already have corresponding signals – that Munich will be used to make progress with regards to peace in Ukraine,” said Christoph Heusgen in Berlin on Monday.
Heusgen was in the German capital to present the “Munich Security Report 2025” ahead of the conference.
The MSC is due to take place from Friday to Sunday, with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, US Vice President J D Vance and German Chancellor Olaf Scholz all expected to attend along with some 60 other political leaders. A meeting between Scholz and Vance is expected.
“Whether a plan will be announced at the conference remains to be seen,” said Heusgen.
“What I’m sure about is that the conference will be used to see the contours of such a plan, and which parameters must be in an agreement.”
Ukraine has been defending itself against a Russian invasion for almost three years.
