The 60th Munich Security Conference is an organization full of insecurity and uncertainty

According to the international group Tasnim news agency, German newspaper Tagus Zeitung in an article examining the results of the 60th He discussed the Munich Security Conference and evaluated it as a scene for helplessness and wrote: This year’s Munich Security Conference was actually a conference of ambiguity and insecurity. What is needed now is a dialogue forum for peace and disarmament.

Christopher Hoesgen, the head of the Munich Security Conference, promised at the weekend that in these times of depression and despair there are silver linings on the horizon. It exists and you just have to look for it carefully enough. Husgen wanted to encourage and motivate people. But his hopeful words could hardly hide the fact that the Munich Security Conference was a conference full of insecurity and uncertainty.

This security conference is overshadowed by News concerned the front lines of the conflicts in Ukraine and the Gaza Strip and the deaths of innocent people, as well as in Siberia, where Alexei Navalny died just as the conference opened. At the conference, Russian President Vladimir Putin was presented as a symbol of Satan.

The geopolitical findings recognized by the 50 heads of state at the conference were largely the same: the situation in Ukraine is bleak. , there is a shortage of ammunition, soldiers and prospects, and no matter how much Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky can swear that victory over Russia will come at some point. America, which is now in the hands of Donald Trump, is no longer a reliable partner. Suddenly, Europe is naked and alone on the stage.

This article continues: We have to get used to the fact that the slogan of never again war has become old. Progress in Europe is now measured in millimeters, and the most important task facing politicians in this region these days is opening new weapons factories. Sweet and sour depression, we are oblivious to how dangerously the world is suffering from the escalating virus. Nothing seems unthinkable: a Russian attack on the Baltics and Poland, Russian nukes in space, European nukes in Germany.

It is clear that you cannot create a Ukrainian state with someone like Putin. And it is not possible to achieve lasting peace and this is not possible without at least giving concessions to this country. There does not seem to be an alternative to deliver more weapons to Ukraine and strengthen the European arms industry, and in this situation, where is the discussion about a world without, less, or at least with fewer weapons? Who provides a platform to seek disarmament, not promotion? This stage was not considered in Munich.

Thus, the silver lining that Hausgen talked about: is still not visible.

This German newspaper wrote in another article: The largest security conference to date, Ukraine and the Middle East were on the agenda. But the collective helplessness was also evident.

Saturday afternoon, several hundred people gathered at Munich’s Odeonsplatz to demonstrate against Russia’s war on Ukraine and for more support for the stricken country. Last year, more people gathered at the same place. The voices of the demonstrators are heard: We want peace for Ukraine. But two years after the start of the war, no end is predicted for it.

This article continues: This year’s Munich Security Conference (SICO) did not have good stars and luck. First, the death of the Russian dissident Alexei Navalny overshadowed the first day of the Congress, then the news of the withdrawal of Ukrainian forces from the disputed city of Avdiyka. When Volodymyr Zelensky appeared on Saturday, in response to a question that was asked about this, he only said: it was a “professional decision to save the lives of as many troops as possible.” wanted to present a more certain picture of the situation. But it was difficult. Zelensky said, apparently confidently: “We reject the Russian myth that Ukraine cannot win. We should not be afraid of Putin’s defeat. However, the current reality of the war It looks different. Ukraine needs more military support to not lose the war. Zelenskiy said: “Weapons packages, anti-aircraft packages, that’s exactly what we expect.

With about 800 participants from More than 90 countries, this year’s Munich Security Conference was bigger than ever. But quantity is not everything. Compared to previous years, this period has lost some of its importance. Donald Tusk, the new Polish Prime Minister, preferred to Instead of meeting French President Emmanuel Macron and Schultz at the Bayrischer Hof Hotel, in any case, apart from the chancellor, no high-ranking leader of one of the major EU countries came to Munich. England was represented only by David Cameron, the foreign minister. That’s not enough when it comes to the difficult search for European initiatives to resolve the war in Ukraine.

But it’s not just Europe that doesn’t know how to get Putin to stop the killing. In a speech on Friday, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said the human toll was “horrendous.” “We absolutely need a lasting and just peace for Ukraine,” he stressed. The basis should be respect for the territorial integrity of independent countries. But how can this be achieved?

Even Kamala Harris, the Vice President of the United States, could think of nothing but slogans of perseverance. Also, while China announced at least one peace plan last year, which is now considered a failure, this time Foreign Minister Wang Yi only said that China wanted to pave the way for peace talks, but in It has not yet found the “right” conditions.

Another part of this article reads: While there was a lack of ideas about how to end the war in Ukraine in Munich, there was also a lack of a solution. The Middle East conflict, i.e. the two-state solution, was discussed. This issue was raised many times in this meeting and two narratives competed with each other: the representatives of the Arab countries – Egypt, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the Palestinian Authority itself – insist that the declaration of the Palestinian state should precede the next steps. Herzog, the president of the Zionist regime, however, emphasized that the two-state solution is impossible without taking into account Israel’s security concerns. In Munich, representatives of European countries chose more cautious words. While there is of course support for Israel, the prospect of a Palestinian state is stronger today than before the October 7 attack by Hamas, explained Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gehrstor. Hajeh Lehabib, the Belgian foreign minister, emphasized that a plan should be developed in the dialogue with the Arab countries.

How much Israel is willing to agree to such an action was an issue that was difficult to discuss at this year’s conference on It debated because Prime Minister and key decision-maker Benjamin Netanyahu was not present.
