Signing of the agreement and Ukraine's position
The agreement to establish the Peace Council was signed on January 22 in Davos. The organization is headed by the US president. According to Trump's plan, the Council will focus on consolidating peace in Gaza. In the future, it may be given broader powers in conflict resolution.
