Speaking in Davos, just before the Abu Dhabi talks, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, the Ukrainian president, said that he was now satisfied with the postwar security guarantees offered by the US. The big remaining issue is territory. As Zelenskyy put it: “It’s all about the land. This is the issue which is not solved yet.” Steve Witkoff, Trump’s main negotiator, had a similar assessment, telling his European counterparts in Davos that the peace deal is basically done — apart from the issue of territory.
