Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky announced on Monday that representatives from US President Donald Trump's team are scheduled to visit Ukraine this week in preparation for a security conference in Germany. Zelensky mentioned that he plans to meet with US Vice President JD Vance at the Munich Security Conference, along with other members of Trump's team. The conference is set to take place from February 14 to 16.
Zelensky expressed his intention to engage in substantive negotiations with the US and European allies regarding Ukraine's security and financial requirements. He also hinted at a potential meeting with President Trump in the near future.
On a related note, the European Investment Bank, in collaboration with the European Commission, announced a significant 2 billion euros contribution to Ukraine. This financial support includes funds aimed at the restoration and protection of Ukraine's energy systems.
Last week, Trump appointed retired Gen. Keith Kellogg as his envoy to Ukraine and Russia. Kellogg is expected to discuss strategies for peace in Ukraine with allies at the Munich Security Conference before embarking on his inaugural visit to Kyiv four days later.
