"As far as the Russian Foreign Ministry is aware, Russian officials for various reasons won't attend the Munich Security Conference on security policy that's taking place on February 18-20 this year," Sakharova said.
Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov disclosed earlier that Russian President Vladimir Putin would not attend the session in person or via video link.
The summit scheduled for February 18-20 is expected to gather at about 35 heads of state and government in the Security Conference.
