US secretary of state: War in Ukraine to be main topic at Munich conference

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has stated that the key issue at the Munich Security Conference, which will take place from 14 to 16 February, will be the Russo-Ukrainian war.

Rubio emphasised in an interview with SiriusXM Patriot that the main topic at the conference will be the Russo-Ukrainian war.

"President Trump has been clear that the war in Ukraine needs to end.  He’s going to sort of begin to lay out a broad path forward, and he wants that war to end," Rubio said.

Rubio stressed that ending the war would be in everyone’s interest.

"Obviously we’ll be discussing that with foreign ministers and other leaders there," he added.

On 5 February, Keith Kellogg, US President Donald Trump's special envoy for Ukraine and Russia, confirmed that he plans to attend the Munich Security Conference, which will take place from 14 to 16 February.
