Ukraine war live: All Putin’s conditions must be met before peace deal can be agreed, says Russian minister

We have more on the upcoming Munich Security Conference (MSC). (see 10.48 entry).

We hope that Munich will be used - and we have signs that it will - to make progress with regard to peace in Ukraine.

We assume that talks will take place on the sidelines. I will leave it open whether a plan will be announced at the conference.

I hope we will make progress in Munich... the fact that the person responsible for this, Kellogg, will attend is an indication of this for me.
