After returning from the Munich Security Conference, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky held a meeting with the leadership of the security and defense forces at the Boryspil International Airport.

This was reported on the evening of February 19 at the Office of the President .

It is noted that the head of state heard detailed reports on the events of the last 24 hours in eastern Ukraine and the state of combat readiness of the troops.

“The President received up-to-date information from the intelligence services on the situation in Russia and Belarus along the Ukrainian border, as well as in the temporarily occupied territories of Crimea, Donetsk and Luhansk regions. In addition, they discussed pressing humanitarian problems and ways to solve them. The meeting participants discussed possible scenarios for the further development of events and the necessary steps for Ukraine in the event of the implementation of each of them. Volodymyr Zelenskyy instructed on the actual additional logistics of the troops,” the message says.

As UNIAN reported earlier, on February 19, President Volodymyr Zelensky spoke at the Munich Security Conference , dedicated this year to the challenges associated with possible Russian aggression against Ukraine.

  1. Ah. When I’d seen the report of him preparing to leave the country, I’d jumped to the conclusion that he was fleeing out of cowardice. Still, to prevent such a misunderstanding, I’m wondering why he didn’t send some representative in his place. Was there some particularly sensitive intelligence issue, or did he want to be directly involved with the meeting? I admit I prefer handling difficult situations in my own life personally, and this is definitely more difficult for him, I’ll grant.
