Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky will attend the Munich Security Conference on Saturday and will return home later today, according to a statement from his office, Reuters reported.
Zelensky’s trip had caught the attention of the West because of countries’ concerns that Russia was ready to launch a military strike against Ukraine and could do so while the president was out of the country. Russia denies any plans to attack its neighbor.
NBC News reported on Friday that: “Zelensky may cancel his plans to attend the Security Conference in Germany this weekend due to the escalating crisis with Russia, as stated by his spokesman …”.
“This morning, President Zelensky was planning to attend the Munich Security Conference,” he said, adding: “We are now seeing a situation that is becoming more and more dramatic.”
According to NBC News, the Biden government is reportedly worried that Russian President Vladimir Putin could somehow take advantage of Zelensky’s absence from Ukraine.
