President Volodymyr Zelenskiy announces a Ukrainian delegation will travel to the United States to discuss security promises and post-war rebuilding plans. These talks aim to secure agreements during the World Economic Forum in Davos.

Key Objectives

  • Clear Answers from the U.S.: Ukraine seeks definitive responses regarding Russia's stance on ending the war.
  • Divergent Views: Russia and the U.S. hold differing opinions on achieving peace.

Potential Trump-Zelenskiy Meeting

President Donald Trump hints at a possible meeting with Zelenskiy in Davos. Notably, Trump has previously criticized Zelenskiy. Trump asserts:

  • Russia is prepared for a peace deal.
  • Zelenskiy is the obstacle to peace, a view contrasting sharply with European allies' perspectives.

Ukraine's Post-War Recovery Plans

  • Prosperity Package: Ukraine finalizes documents for a post-war recovery and security guarantees package.
  • Funding Needs: An estimated $800 billion is required for rebuilding efforts.
  • Security Focus: Ensuring Ukraine's protection from future Russian aggression.

Accusations and Counterclaims

  • Zelenskiy's Accusation: Ukraine accuses Russia of stalling peace efforts, citing recent attacks on Ukraine's energy infrastructure as evidence of Russia's lack of seriousness.
  • U.S. Peace Framework: The U.S. is developing a peace framework for Ukraine to present to Russia.
  • Allied Support: Ukraine and its European allies are committed to securing Ukraine's future safety.
