Donald Trump has signalled that a settlement to the devastating Ukraine war could arrive imminently, unveiling his ambitious new 'Board of Peace' whilst meeting world leaders at Davos this week. The initiative represents one of the most significant diplomatic moves yet to broker a resolution to the nearly three-year conflict that has claimed hundreds of thousands of lives and displaced millions more.
Speaking at the World Economic Forum in Switzerland on Wednesday, the US President claimed negotiations are 'getting close' to a breakthrough and suggested that without swift action on the Ukraine war settlement, the international community would face a profound failure. 'We've got to get it done. If we don't get that done, it would be a disgrace,' Trump told reporters outside the forum's main venue.
