Zelensky slams Putin as a 'slave to war' at Munich security conference

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky pressed the West at the Munich Security Conference to supply faster air defences and guaranteed security to end Moscow’s war, denouncing Vladimir Putin as a "slave to war" and noting Russia has damaged every Ukrainian power plant. He warned against territorial concessions, drew parallels to the 1938 Munich Agreement, and said Kyiv would pursue elections only after a ceasefire and solid security guarantees, with next-week talks in Geneva and other negotiations ongoing.
