WASHINGTON — The Biden administration is concerned about Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s plans to leave his country this weekend to attend the Munich Security Conference, where he’s scheduled to meet in person with Vice President Kamala Harris, according to four people familiar with the matter.

Administration officials are worried that it’s too risky right now for Zelenskyy to leave the country given the potential for conflict, and that Russian President Vladimir Putin could somehow exploit his absence, they said.

Amid those concerns, and on the eve of Zelenskyy’s scheduled departure for Germany, a spokesperson said the Ukrainian president was monitoring the situation and a final decision would be made in the coming hours.

“As of this morning, President Zelenskyy was planning to attend the Munich Security Conference. Now, we are observing the situation, which is getting more and more dramatic,” the spokesperson, Sergii Nykyforov, said. “If there is a dramatic escalation or some worrying messages, then he might change his mind. As of now, we are still waiting to see what is going to happen.”

1. He might lose his spot and spend the rest of his life in exile

Use Zoom

2. He should not leave,

until sh.t hits the fan, we can get him out if needed. As long as his people stay and fight, so should he.

4. Or worse yet ...suffer a second story window fall

3. I may be naive, but

why can't they meet via Zoom or a similar platform?

5. Because the real business takes place outside of the formal meetings.

That can't be done with Zoom. You never know who is watching or listening even if it is one on one.
