The Munich Security Conference began on Friday. Russia's Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Maria Zakharova said earlier in February that Russia's delegation will not attend the conference on account of it being turned into a "transatlantic forum", thereby losing its inclusiveness and objectivity.

Ukraine is still eyeing NATO membership, and its president Volodymyr Zelensky said Kiev wanted a "clear" timeframe for when it can join the alliance.

"What can we do? We can continue forcefully supporting Ukraine and its defenses. Present... clear, feasible timeframes for membership of the Alliance," he told a security forum on Saturday.

Western powers should drop their policy of "appeasement" toward Moscow, Zelensky added in Munich as tensions soar between his country and NATO on one side and Russia on the other.

"Ukraine has received security guarantees for abandoning the world's third-largest nuclear arsenal. We have no weapons. And no security," Zelensky claimed before the forum.
