Russia will not be invited to send an official delegation to the 2023 Munich Security Conference, a leading international forum for the discussion of global military and security issues. “Russian officials are not invited to #MSC2023,” wrote German diplomat Christoph Heusgen, who is the chairman of the conference, in a November 21 post on Twitter. “We will not give them a platform for their propaganda. We want to discuss Russia's future with Russian opposition leaders and exiled people - THEIR voices need to be heard and amplified." The conference will be held in Munich on February 17-19, 2023.
