Claim restated: Secretary Rubio expected to meet
Ukrainian President Zelenskyy at the Munich Security Conference, with Rubio saying there was a chance to see him and that it was on his schedule.
Progress evidence: The State Department transcript from February 12, 2026 records Rubio saying, I think so. I think he was going to be there, and there’s a chance to see him. I believe it’s on my schedule. I’m not 100 percent certain, but I’m sure we will. This provides direct intent signaling about a potential meeting. Independent reporting (UNN Kyiv feed) echoed the claim that Rubio planned to meet
Zelenskyy in
Munich.
Status assessment: As of February 13, 2026, public evidence indicates planning and expectation for a Zelenskyy–Rubio meeting, but no definitive public readout or confirmation of an actual meeting has been published in the cited sources. The Munich Security Conference schedule and participant lists, plus Rubio’s remarks, establish a plausible milestone window, not a completed event.
Dates and milestones: The State Department remarks were delivered on February 12, 2026, ahead of the Munich Security Conference (February 13–15, 2026). Reports indicate Zelenskyy was set to attend Munich, aligning with Rubio’s stated schedule, but a post-event readout confirming a meeting remains unavailable in the sources consulted.
