Ukraine-Russia war latest: US ‘to consider expanding Trump-led Gaza Board of Peace to Ukraine’
US officials are reportedly considering expanding the Donald Trump-led Gaza “Board of Peace” to include other conflict-torn countries such as Ukraine and Venezuela.
A senior Kyiv official involved in talks with Washington said a separate “Board of Peace” is being discussed as part of proposals to end Russia’s war, reported the Financial Times.
Diplomats have raised concerns that the Trump-led body could act as a parallel alternative to the UN, with details of its mandate and membership expected to be unveiled at the World Economic Forum in Davos next week.
It comes as Volodymyr Zelensky said documents for a deal between Ukraine and the US on the war in Ukraine could be signed at Davos.
A Ukrainian delegation is travelling to the US for negotiations on security guarantees and a “prosperity package” in the event of a ceasefire.
During the talks, Zelensky said his team would seek clarity from the US on the Russian stance towards diplomatic efforts to end the war. Moscow has refused to budge on its maximalist demands for a peace deal.
The trip comes after Trump said Vladimir Putin “is ready to make a deal” while “Ukraine is less ready to make a deal”.
