Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy is expected to meet U.S. Vice President JD Vance in Munich on Friday after Donald Trump startled U.S. allies by calling Vladimir Putin and announcing the start of talks to end the war in Ukraine.

Vice President JD Vance toured the Dachau concentration camp with his wife Usha and Abba Naor, a 96-year-old Holocaust survivor, where he addressed the "unspeakable evil" committed there.

Vice President J.D. Vance greeted a 97-year-old Holocaust survivor Thursday at the former site of the Dachau Nazi concentration camp ahead of a critical meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky at this weekend’s Munich Security Conference.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy stated on Thursday that Ukraine will not accept any agreement regarding its future made solely between Moscow and Washington without Kyiv’s involvement.

President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said Ukraine would need the U.S. to help it build up an army as big as that of Russia to serve as a "Plan B" if his country is not admitted into the North Atlantic Treaty Organization.

U.S. President Donald Trump said on Wednesday he did not think it was practical for Ukraine to join NATO and that it was unlikely Ukraine will get back all of its land. Trump discussed the war in Ukraine on Wednesday in phone calls with Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy,
