Dmitry Medvedev, Russia's former president and prime minister, said the vice president "told the truth" on his trip to Europe.

US Vice-President JD Vance has launched a scalding attack on European democracies, saying the greatest threat facing the continent was not from Russia and China, but "from within". It had been expected that Vance would use his speech at the Munich Security Conference to address possible talks to end the war in Ukraine.

Volodymyr Zelensky declined to sign a document he received in Munich from representatives of the American Congress, reports journalist Josh Rogin of "The Washington Post." According to him, the document would have granted Americans rights to a significant portion of Ukraine's mineral deposits.
