Zelenskyy says US ‘too often’ pushes Ukraine, not Russia, for concessions

AI Summary

medium article 2 min

In a speech at the Munich Security Conference on February 15, 2026, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy expressed hope for upcoming US-brokered peace talks with Russia in Geneva. He stated that Ukraine is "too often" being asked to make concessions, while the US does not pressure Russia in the same way. Zelenskyy also argued for greater European involvement in negotiations, as Moscow has opposed it. He emphasized the need for clear security guarantees as the foundation for lasting peace. The talks, mediated by the US, follow two previous rounds in Abu Dhabi that yielded no breakthroughs after Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022.
