Russia Absent from Munich Security Conference

Russia will not participate in the Munich Security Conference as it was not invited. The Russian Foreign Ministry claims the conference has shifted from its original security focus to supporting policies detrimental to European security and aligned with the Kyiv regime.

Russian absence from the upcoming Munich Security Conference has been confirmed, following the country's exclusion from the event's invitee list. The announcement was made by Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova during a weekly briefing.

Zakharova expressed that the conference has evolved over the years, diverging from its true objective of addressing security issues. She accused the event of becoming a platform that endorses the 'regime in Kyiv' and promotes security measures harmful to Europe's safety.

The absence of Russian representatives underscores the growing tensions and evolving dynamics in international security discussions, particularly concerning Ukraine's ongoing conflict.
