The Ukrainian president, who is on a visit to Lithuania, said Kyiv is now waiting for a time and place to sign the document, which could be the cornerstone of a potential peace deal with Russia. Zelenskyy signaled that progress had been made after he met U.S. leader Donald Trump at the World Economic Forum in Davos last week. “For us, security guarantees are first and foremost guarantees of security from the United States,” he said during at a press conference alongside his Lithuanian and Polish counterparts on Sunday. “The document is 100% ready, and we are waiting for our partners to confirm the date and place when we will sign it. The document will then be sent for ratification to the U.S. Congress and the Ukrainian parliament.” Kyiv and its European allies have long seen security backing from Washington as crucial to stop Russia from potentially attacking Ukraine again in the event of a peace deal. Seeking peace Earlier this month, the British- and French-led ‘Coalition of the Willing’ agreed to deploy a multinational force to Ukraine during a summit in Paris that was attended by Trump’s envoy Steve Witkoff. No announcements came out of talks between American, Ukrainian and Russian delegations in Abu Dhabi on Friday and Saturday, but officials from both Kyiv and Moscow said they were open to further dialogue. Zelenskyy said that the discussions were focused on “the possible parameters for ending the war.” Key differences remain between Ukraine and Russia, especially in terms of potential territorial concessions. Vladimir Putin’s negotiators are keen to gain full control of the partly-occupied Donbas region of eastern Ukraine, while Zelenskyy has suggested freezing the zones of control along current battle lines. “These are two fundamentally different positions – Ukraine’s and Russia’s,” the Ukrainian president said. “The Americans are trying to find a compromise,” he added, saying that each party must be ready to compromise. More discussions are expected in Abu Dhabi next week, according to reports.
