Rubio hopes to meet with Zelenskyy during Munich Security Conference

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio hopes to meet with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy during the Munich Security Conference, which is taking place February 13-15.

“I think he’s going to be there and there’s a chance to see him. I believe it’s on my schedule, not 100% certain, but I’m sure we will,” Rubio told reporters before leaving for Munich on Thursday evening, CNN reports.

He also called Russia’s attacks against Ukraine "terrible."

“It’s a war. That’s why we want the war to end. People are suffering. It’s the coldest time of year. It’s unimaginable, the suffering. That’s the problem with wars. That’s why wars are bad, and that’s why we worked so hard for over a year now to try to bring this one to an end,” Rubio said.
