Concerns Mount as Munich Security Conference Concludes with No Tangible Solutions for End of Ukraine War
(MENAFN) The 59th Munich Security Conference ended with a continued sense of unease about the ongoing Ukraine war and its long-term impact. Despite speeches from Western officials stressing the importance of ending the war with a defeat of Russia to protect the "rules-based order," there were no tangible solutions given.
German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock emphasized that the war would only end when Moscow stops bombing and withdraws its troops. However, with no clear signal that Moscow could make that unilateral decision and no clear path for diplomacy, the war is set to mark its first anniversary on Friday.
Pakistan's Minister of State for Foreign Affairs, Hina Rabbani Khar, spoke of the necessity of a universal application of the rules-based order. Ms. Rabbani Khar echoed the voices of several attendees whom she described as coming from the "global south," saying that using a "moral argument" on Ukraine often misses the lack of morality in other global conflicts.
Ngaire Woods, dean of the Blavatnik school of government at the University of Oxford, said Europe and the US had needed a "unifying narrative" on Ukraine and thus went for the "moral argument," yet it was not one that convinced many around the world.
The lack of solutions has left many concerned about the long-term ramifications of the Ukraine war. It remains unclear how the war will end, and with tensions continuing to rise, it is crucial to find a solution that can bring about a lasting peace.
