US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said he believes he will meet with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky at the Munich Security Conference. The American official stressed the need to end the war in Ukraine.

This is reported by CNN.

“I think he’ll be there and there’s a chance to see him. I think it’s on my schedule, not 100% sure, but I’m confident we’ll do it,” Rubio told reporters before leaving for Munich on Thursday night.

Zelensky said he would attend the high-level meeting if possible, depending on the security situation in Ukraine.

When asked about Russia’s continued bombing of Ukraine, Rubio called it “horrible.”

“This is a war. That’s why we want the war to end. People are suffering. It’s the coldest time of year. The suffering is incredible. That’s the problem with wars. That’s why wars are bad, and that’s why we’ve worked so hard for over a year to try to end this one,” he said.

As a reminder, on Friday, February 13, the Munich Security Conference 2026 will kick off in Munich , one of the main global platforms for discussing issues of war, peace, and global security.
