The negotiation of Iran’s nuclear agreement has released certain positive signals
According to Tehran, Xinhua news agency, Iranian President Lech said on February 19 that the key to reaching an agreement through negotiation between the parties to the comprehensive agreement on the Iranian nuclear issue is to ensure the interests of the Iranian people. According to the Iranian president’s website, Leahy said on the phone with French President macron that the Iranian delegation was seriously negotiating in the Austrian capital Vienna. Iran put forward constructive proposals during the negotiations and studied the proposals of other parties based on the interests of the Iranian people.

The situation in Ukraine became the focus of the Muan meeting
According to Xinhua news agency, due to the continuous increase in the influx of refugees from eastern Ukraine, the state government of Rostov State in southern Russia announced on February 19 that the state will enter a state of emergency from now on. At the same time, the situation in Ukraine has become the focus of discussion at the 58th Munich Security Conference (Muan Conference) being held in Germany, and many participants called for easing the situation.
Civilian armed forces in eastern Ukraine announced on the 18th that due to the risk of military action launched by Ukraine, they will evacuate local residents to Russia on a large scale from now on. On the afternoon of the 18th, an explosion occurred at the seat of the government of the “people’s Republic of Donetsk” established by the civilian armed forces in eastern Ukraine. After the explosion, the leaders of the “people’s Republic of Donetsk” and “people’s Republic of Lugansk” issued a statement saying that in order to prevent civilian casualties, local residents would be organized to move to Russia.

The situation in Ukraine has become the focus of this mu’an meeting. In his first speech at the Muan meeting on the 19th, Scholtz said that the situation in Ukraine had not eased, “there is a risk of another war in Europe”, and diplomatic channels are still a means to solve the Ukrainian problem. He also said that Russia’s concern about Ukraine’s accession to NATO is “absurd”, and Ukraine’s accession to NATO will not be on the agenda in the near future.
European Commission President von delaine said at the meeting that a series of recent events may reshape the entire international system and bring economic losses to Russia. Harris said in his speech that day that if Russia invades Ukraine, it will face unprecedented economic sanctions.
