«There is no country in Europe that can only rely on its own technology and money to defend itself. In a full-scale war, no one could do it alone. That’s why, while we invest in interceptors and protection, Russia invests in breaking unity among us all. Our unity with you, unity in Europe, unity in the Euro-Atlantic community. I want to break it because our unit is the best interceptor against Russia’s aggressive plans. Our unity is what protects us.” Volodymyr Zelensky said this at the Munich Security Conference.

“Ukraine is a nation made of pride” and for this reason “we want respect”. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky declared this while speaking at the Munich Security Conference and underlining the importance of air defense. Zelensky said he was “proud” of Ukrainian soldiers for continuing to repel Russian attacks. adding that “the Ukrainian people deserve gratitude and respect”.

The UK will deploy its carrier strike group to the North Atlantic and High North region this year. This was announced by Prime Minister Keir Starmer in Munich. The group will be led by His Majesty the Prince of Wales, “operating alongside the United States, Canada and other NATO allies”. It is “a strong demonstration of our commitment to Euro-Atlantic security,” he said. «This is also why we are strengthening our nuclear cooperation with France. For decades, the UK was the only nuclear power in Europe to commit its deterrent to protecting all NATO members.”

“We have to be ready to fight and do whatever it takes.” British Prime Minister Keir Starmer said this while speaking at the Munich Security Conference.

The United States “does not seek to divide, but to revitalize an ancient friendship.” US Secretary of State Marco Rubio underlined this in his speech at the Munich Conference, stating that “we do not want allies to rationalize the status quo in crisis, rather than deal with what is necessary to resolve it”. The United States wants “a reinvigorated alliance that recognizes that what has afflicted our societies is not just a set of bad policies, but a malaise of desperation and complacency.”

The United Nations and major international organizations must be “rebuilt and reformed” to meet new challenges. This was stated by US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, speaking at the Munich Conference on Security, where he underlined that it is not necessary to dismantle them but to make them effective. According to Rubio, the UN has “enormous potential”, but has repeatedly proven “impotent”, failing to resolve the crises in Gaza and Ukraine. “In a perfect world these problems would be solved by diplomats and resolutions,” Rubio said, admitting, however, that “we don’t live in a perfect world” and that those who openly threaten global security cannot continue to be allowed to hide behind abstractions of international law that they regularly violate.

The post-war triumph led to a “dangerous illusion”. Secretary of State Marco Rubio is convinced of this and underlined it when opening his speech at the Munich Conference, stating that «The euphoria of this triumph led us to the dangerous illusion that we had entered the ‘end of history’ and that every nation was a liberal democracy, that the bonds formed by trade and trade alone would replace nationality, that the rules-based global order, an overused term, would replace the national interest and that we would live in a world without borders, where we would all become citizens of the world». “This was a crazy idea that ignored both human nature,” he said, “We made these mistakes together and now, together, we have a duty to our people to face reality and move forward,” he added.

The United States of America “will once again take on the task of restoration and rebirth, guided by a vision of the as proud as it is sovereign, and as vital as the past of our civilization.” Future US Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated this in his speech at the Munich Security Conference. “Although we are ready, if necessary, to do it alone, our participation – and it is also our hope – is to do it together with you, our friends here in Europe,” he added.

«We are part of a single civilization, Western civilization. We are connected. We want Europe to be strong. We believe that Europe must survive. Ultimately, our destiny is intertwined with yours.” US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said this at the Munich Conference.
