President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and President Donald Trump are expected to meet in Davos later this month to finalize a landmark US-Ukraine agreement focused on Ukraine’s post-war recovery, with a projected value of $800 billion over ten years.
According to The Telegraph, the two leaders will use the World Economic Forum in Davos, held from January 19 to 23, as the platform for formalizing what has been described as a “prosperity plan” and a separate framework for post-war security guarantees.
Western officials cited by The Telegraph say the prosperity agreement aims to attract up to $800 billion in funding over the next decade. The plan reportedly includes a mix of private-sector investment, loans, and grants to rebuild Ukraine’s infrastructure and revitalize its economy.
According to the report, the foundation for the agreement was laid by a prior US-Ukraine critical minerals deal signed last year, which granted American investors preferential access to future mining projects in Ukraine. The new deal is expected to expand this model to other sectors, with particular emphasis on projects that could appeal to the Trump administration.
Ukrainian officials quoted by The Telegraph say the deal is structured to “provide for economic recovery, restoring jobs and bringing life back to Ukraine.”
Zelenskyy had initially intended to visit Washington to conclude both the economic agreement and a bilateral security pact, but, according to The Telegraph, European partners in the so-called “coalition of the willing” recommended Davos as a more neutral setting for the negotiations.
The same coalition, which is involved in broader ceasefire talks, has urged Kyiv not to rush into final agreements, believing current US alignment with European positions offers favorable terms for Ukraine. However, both economic and security discussions appear to be nearing completion.
In a January 8 social media post, President Zelenskyy stated that the bilateral agreement on post-war security “is now essentially ready for finalisation at the highest level with the President of the United States.”

Trump’s designated peace envoy, Steve Witkoff, has also been closely involved in drafting the agreement. After a recent meeting of the coalition in Paris, Witkoff reportedly confirmed that US investment firm BlackRock would participate in the initiative.
Although the details of the reconstruction deal have not been made public, Ukrainian hopes are pinned on the idea that strong US engagement—particularly under Trump’s leadership—will also reinforce Washington’s commitment to providing robust security guarantees.
Earlier, Bloomberg reported that President Zelenskyy is discussing a potential zero-tariff free trade agreement with the United States as part of Ukraine’s post-war recovery plan.
He described the proposal as a strategic advantage for attracting investment and an additional form of economic security, noting that final details would be discussed directly with President Trump.
