A Ukrainian delegation is en route to the US for talks on security guarantees and a post-war recovery package, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said on Friday, expressing hope the documents could be signed on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum in Davos next week. During the talks, Kyiv's team also hopes to get clarity from the US on the Russian stance toward US-backed diplomatic efforts to end the war, Zelenskyy told a news conference in Kyiv alongside Czech president Petr Pavel. ADVERTISEMENTUS President Donald Trump told Reuters earlier this week that he may meet with Zelenskyy at the WEF, a meeting which the Ukrainian leader has publicly sought. Ukrainian officials have said the country will need $800 billion for its post-war reconstruction. On Friday, Zelenskyy said Russia was stalling peace efforts, and cited Moscow's recent strikes on Ukraine's energy system as proof of Moscow's real intentions.
