Head of Ukrainian Presidency Office Kyrylo Budanov arrives with the delegation at the Elysee Palace in Paris, on January 6, 2026, prior to the Coalition of the Willing summit on security guarantees for Ukraine. The summit of the group of Ukraine supporters dubbed the "Coalition of the Willing" is the latest of several meetings planned for the new year as diplomatic efforts to end Europe's deadliest conflict since World War II have gained pace in recent weeks.

Overview

  • The team led by Kyrylo Budanov with Rustem Umerov and Davyd Arakhamia arrived Jan. 17 for talks on final text of a jointly drafted 20‑point proposal.
  • Meetings are planned in Florida with U.S. envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner as well as U.S. Army Secretary Daniel Driscoll.
  • Discussions center on security guarantees and a postwar 'prosperity' plan that Ukrainian officials say could mobilize about $800 billion in reconstruction investment.
  • Zelenskyy said the delegation’s priority is to present the impact of recent Russian strikes on Ukraine’s energy system, which he argues is eroding confidence in diplomacy.
  • Officials say documents could be signed next week at the World Economic Forum if approved, though Russia has not endorsed the draft and contentious issues such as territory and the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant remain unresolved.
