[Munich Summit Seemed Unlikely to Break Russia-Ukraine Deadlock] ⑴ Six European officials stated that they do not expect the Munich Security Conference to achieve much in terms of ending the Russia-Ukraine conflict; the conference is expected to be primarily symbolic. ⑵ According to two European officials and a senior US official, the US has made it clear to Ukraine that it will not finalize a security guarantees agreement for Ukraine until an overall agreement is reached. ⑶ Sources indicate that the peace process is currently deadlocked due to significant differences on territorial issues. ⑷ A senior US government official stated that President Trump is not attempting to use a security guarantees agreement as leverage to pressure Zelensky. ⑸ The official stated that Trump wants to finalize and implement key issues as much as possible before formally signing the agreement, rather than signing it for the sake of signing, so as not to affect subsequent peace negotiations. ⑹ Other sources revealed that the US, Russia, and Ukraine plan to meet again next week, possibly in Miami or Abu Dhabi; the US believes any substantial progress is more likely to occur at such an event.
