President Trump signed the founding charter of his Board of Peace without major U.S. allies on Thursday then met with Ukraine's President Zelenskyy.

U.S. President Donald Trump used the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, to unveil a proposed “ Board of Peace ” for Gaza, bringing leaders from more than a dozen countries onstage Thursday, although many top American allies aren’t participating in the board.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky criticized European leaders, accusing them of failing to act when it comes to defending Ukraine against Russia. “Europe loves to discuss the future, but avoids taking action today, action that defines what kind of future we will have,” Zelensky said at the World Economic Forum in Davos on Thursday.

The yearly gathering in the Swiss Alps resort town has been dominated by escalating tensions between the US and its European allies, with leaders warning of a crumbling world order, rising unilateralism and AI's threat to the world's workforce.

Vladimir Putin has told Donald Trump’s envoys that peace will not be possible unless Ukraine cedes territory to Russia.

Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky on Tuesday canceled his planned appearance at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, and stayed in Kyiv as Russian strikes crippled the country’s energy grid — leaving tens of thousands without heat in the dead of winter.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said he’ll likely scrap plans to attend the World Economic Forum as he oversees the war-battered nation’s response to Russian air strikes that have left vast swathes of Kyiv without heating and water.
