Vitaliy Kulyk, political scientist, director of the Center for Civil Society Research, noted that the voices of those who could advocate peace talks or a reset in Russia's war against Ukraine were not heard at the Munich Security Conference

He spoke about this on Espreso TV.

"Those who are attending the Munich Security Conference and the insider information that is available indicate that the very fact of Navalny's elimination, his murder by the Putin regime, has affected the rhetoric and the tone of the Munich Conference. The voices of those who could advocate for reconciliation, a reset, a different view alternative to the mainstream, and the possibility of a conflict freeze are almost unheard at the conference. These voices were hardly heard at the Munich conference," the political scientist emphasized.

Vitaliy Kulyk noted that those who could talk at the European level about finding a peaceful way out of the situation, about exchanging territory for peace - all these concepts were pushed aside in the wake of Navalny's death.

  • On Friday, February 16, the Russian prison service announced the death of imprisoned opposition leader Alexei Navalny.

  • Also on February 16, the Munich Security Conference began in Germany, bringing together 50 presidents and prime ministers, 100 ministers, as well as CEOs and general managers of leading military industry corporations.
