The Trump administration does not intend to meet with Russian officials in Munich, as reported by CNN, citing its sources. Previously, the U.S. president had announced such talks during the Munich Security Conference.

CNN, based on three well-informed sources, reports that representatives of the U.S. administration, including Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio, do not plan talks with the Russians.

On Thursday, Trump twice announced such a meeting, claiming that "high-level people" would participate. The U.S. president also mentioned inviting Ukrainian representatives.

No visas for Russians

Kyiv has also announced that it does not plan meetings with Moscow in Munich. The head of the Munich Security Conference, Christoph Heusgen, told Deutschlandfunk radio that no Russian official received a German visa.
