STORYLINE:
U.S. Vice President JD Vance landed at Munich airport on Thursday, ahead of the Munich Security Conference and critical talks with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy about the Russia-Ukraine conflict.
Vance will first visit the Dachau concentration camp memorial, making a stop at one of the most powerful symbols of World War II on the eve of his meeting with Zelenskyy.
Vance, along with Secretary of State Marco Rubio, is due to sit down on Friday with Zelenskyy on the sidelines of the security summit to discuss President Donald Trump’s intensifying push for Ukraine and Russia to begin peace talks.
In addition to his talks with Zelenskyy, Vance is scheduled to deliver an address on Friday to the annual Munich Security Conference.
The war in Europe and NATO members’ defence spending are expected to be front and centre for the world leaders gathering in Munich.
Vance, like Trump, has been a sharp critic of U.S. allies’ spending what the administration deems as too little on their defence budgets.
Vance is in the midst of a five-day visit to France and Germany, his first overseas travel since becoming vice president last month.
