German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock said no agreement with Russiashould be reached over the heads of Ukrainians and Europeans.

"A sham peace — over the heads of Ukrainians and Europeans — would gain nothing," Baerbock said in a Foreign Ministry statement ahead of the Munich Security Conference, which she called "more important than ever before."

According to Baerbock, "tough and long-term" security guarantees for Ukraine, as well as a "strong NATO" are the only way to achieve peace.

This comes as many await US President Donald Trump's plan to end the hostilites between Russia and Ukraine.
