Ukrainian President Zelensky at Munich Security Conference

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, during his appearance at the Munich Security Conference, asked why the U.S. and NATO allies do not impose sanctions on Russia now if they are sure an invasion is imminent because “it won’t help once they are there.” Regarding a possible war with Russia, he said that the Russian people do not want war and that, they are not panicking, saying, “We cannot live with the expectation that war will start tomorrow.” When asked why he chose to come to the conference when the threat of a Russian invasion looms on the horizon, President Zelensky said he felt his country was “in good hands,” and that it was important for him to be at the conference. close
