Like the country, and the “Munich speeches”
Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko will not have a separate speech at the Munich Security Conference that opened today. Chairman of the Federation Council Committee on International Relations Konstantin Kosachev stated this today on the Rossiya-1 TV channel.

“Usually top officials get the opportunity to speak out in detail. Mr. Poroshenko did not receive such an opportunity. He will speak out tonight as a commentator on the session, which will be devoted not to Ukraine at all, but to the issue that worries everyone here about the relationship between NATO and the EU. Besides this, there was no place for Poroshenko to comment on an issue that was alien to him at the Munich conference,” Kosachev said.
It is interesting that on February 17, at the conference, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov will be given 40 minutes to speak.
Let us recall that the expression “Munich speech” became idiomatic after Russian President Vladimir Putin spoke at a conference in 2007.
