The Munich Security Conference, gathering military and defense leaders, highlighted pressing issues surrounding the ongoing war in Ukraine. Ukraine refuted claims made by Donald Trump regarding possible US-Ukrainian-Russian talks at the event. The conference emphasized the need for Europe to take greater responsibility for its own security, a sentiment echoed by US officials. DW's Michaela Kufner noted a sense of 'collective shock' among European nations as they face this demand. US Vice President JD Vance's upcoming speech is highly anticipated for its implications on US-EU relations regarding the conflict in Ukraine.
"For many years the Europeans have been told, [by] president after president, that they will have to take charge of their own security. Now the day has arrived and there seems to be a kind of collective shock and somewhat of a disorientation of what that will mean."
"Ukraine is central to European security, but this is about the very concept of American engagement in Europe -- what kind of an ally it chooses to be in the future."
