1️⃣ President Volodymyr *Zelensky is set to meet US Vice President JD Vance at the Munich Security Conference* with a warning against trusting Russia's Vladimir Putin, as *concerns mount in Kyiv* and among its European allies *that the Ukraine war will be settled over their heads.* 🇺🇦 🇺🇸 🇷🇺 The conference starts on Friday, *days after US President Donald Trump and Putin held a watershed phone call* that has shaken Ukraine and America's NATO allies, almost *three years after Russia launched its full-scale invasion.* *Trump said he had agreed with Putin to start Ukraine peace talks soon* and exchange friendly visits. The *new US administration also signalled Ukraine would have to give up territory to Russia* and that NATO membership for Kyiv was _"impractical"_. *Vance, ahead of his speech in Munich on Friday, sought to dampen European fears*, saying _"of course"_ European allies should be involved in any talks to end the war in Ukraine.
