Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said on Thursday (January 22) a document outlining U.S. security guarantees for Ukraine was complete but that territorial issues had not yet been resolved in the war against Russia's invading forces.

Speaking to reporters in at the World Economic Forum in Davos, he said both Russia and Ukraine should make compromises in the peace process, and that an upcoming trilateral meeting of top officials was a "positive" step.

"We speak about one issue, which is the most difficult which has been not solved, and I think trilateral meetings will show each other variants," Zelenskiy said.
