Ukraine-Russia war latest: Trump envoys to hold talks in Davos as Zelensky says Putin is not interested in peace
Delegations from Ukraine and the US will continue their efforts to agree a peace deal at the World Economic Forum in Davos this week, according to Kyiv’s lead negotiator.
The two sides held talks over the weekend in Florida, with the US team led by Donald Trump’s special envoy Steve Witkoff and son-in-law Jared Kushner.
Both Trump and Ukraine’s Volodymyr Zelensky will be attending the Davos summit, which begins today, but the White House says there are currently no plans for a bilateral meeting.
Ukrainian negotiator Rustem Umerov said talks would continue “at the team level during the next phase of consultations in Davos”.
Last night Zelensky said work continued to restore energy infrastructure devastated by targeted Russian strikes, and that such attacks showed Vladimir Putin had no interest in peace.
“If the Russians were seriously interested in ending the war, they would have focused on diplomacy,” Zelensky said in his nightly video address.
