Former U.S. President Donald Trump described his meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy as "very good." The talks happened at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.
However, a critical new U.S. aid package for Ukraine was not finalized. Expected signatures on the deal did not happen. The documents remain in limbo, meaning their status is uncertain and delayed.
In a separate statement, Trump relayed a message from the talks about Russia. He stated that Russian leadership "wants peace." He did not provide further details.
The lack of a signed agreement extends the wait for crucial American military and financial support. Ukraine relies on this aid for its war effort against the Russian invasion.
The Davos meeting was closely watched by international observers. The "very good" personal talks have not yet translated into a concrete result for Ukrainian aid.
