Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said that he and Donald Trump have reached an agreement on post-war U.S. security guarantees for his country, following his meeting with the U.S. president at the Davos summit on Thursday.

Zelensky told reporters that a document on the guarantees was "finished" and just needed to be "signed by the sides, by the presidents, and then will go to national parliaments".

However, he said those guarantees would only come into play, "after the war will stop".

Zelensky also took aim at Europe in his speech, accusing leaders of having no "political will" and contrasting European Union and NATO's slow response to Russia, to Trump's decisive action in Venezuela.
