Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky has said he can’t see a “ready US plan” to end the war in Ukraine as he arrived at the Munich Security Conference today.
Zelensky said previous discussions with US President Donald Trump so far are “definitely not enough to form a plan” for peace.
He added that signals coming from America are “strong”, albeit “varied”, adding he needs to have further talks with US Vice President JD Vance who he is set to meet today.

Zelensky fielded multiple questions on the future of his country minutes after arriving at the conference. He said Ukraine wants to be in Nato and that it won’t recognise occupied territories as Russian.
“We will never recognise occupied territories as Russian,” Zelensky said. “We want to be in Nato, yes. We trust Nato’s security guarantees. I think this is the cheapest option for everyone,” he added.
Meanwhile, Vance tells the Wall Street Journal that Moscow could be hit with sanctions and potential military action if Vladimir Putin fails to agree a peace deal guaranteeing Ukraine’s long-term independence.
UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer also spoke to President Zelensky this morning, renewing the country’s support for Ukraine “for as long as it’s needed.
Starmer also “reiterated the UK’s commitment to Ukraine being on an irreversible path to Nato, as agreed by Allies at the Washington Summit last year,” a spokeswoman for No 10 said.
