Ukraine US Security Guarantee Talks 2026: A $800 Billion Recovery Roadmap
A Ukrainian delegation travels to the US for $800B recovery and security guarantee talks. Tensions rise as Zelenskyy and Trump clash over peace frameworks ahead of Davos.
They're working together, but they're not exactly on the same page. On January 16, 2026, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy confirmed that a high-level Ukrainian delegation is en route to the United States. The mission is critical: securing security guarantees and a massive post-war recovery package that could reshape the nation's future.
High-Stakes Ukraine US Security Guarantee Talks 2026 in Miami
The stakes couldn't be higher. Ukraine estimates it needs $800 billion for its post-war reconstruction. According to Ambassador Olha Stefanishyna, the team—which includes intelligence chief Kyrylo Budanov and security council secretary Rustem Umerov—is meeting in Miami to refine the 'prosperity package'. Zelenskyy hopes these documents will be ready for signing on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum in Davos next week.
Diplomatic Friction with the Trump Administration
Despite the diplomatic push, friction remains palpable. U.S. President Donald Trump recently characterized Zelenskyy as an obstacle to peace, claiming Russia is ready for a deal. Zelenskyy hit back, pointing to Moscow's recent strikes on Ukraine's power grid as evidence of their true intentions. "They aren't interested in agreements, but in the further destruction of Ukraine," he stated during a news conference alongside Czech President Petr Pavel.
On the ground, the situation remains dire. Zelenskyy emphasized the urgent need for air defense ammunition, noting that some systems were left without missiles until a fresh aid package arrived this morning. For Kyiv, these negotiations aren't just about politics—they're about survival.
