U.S. President Donald Trump's unveiling of his new "Board of Peace" drew a divided response from the international community.
Most of Europe — including Ukraine — was absent from the signing ceremony in Davos, which featured mainly Middle Eastern leaders and Trump's ideological allies, such as Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban or Argentinian President Javier Milei.
Despite seeking Trump's favor in peace talks with Russia, Kyiv remains reluctant to join as long as the war lasts.
The reason, President Volodymyr Zelensky said, is that Ukraine cannot sit at the Trump-chaired board beside Russia and Belarus, which were also invited.
Experts and Ukrainian lawmakers who spoke with the Kyiv Independent expressed skepticism about the project, some saying Ukraine should stick with its European allies rather than join the "motley crew" of mostly illiberal leaders.

Lukashenko, Trump and Putin all look so much older and much more frail than they did since 2022
The years are clearly taking their toll on them all
Grifting in plain sight. About on the level of melanias bit coin.
Half the people on the board wouldnt be allowed to step foot in america…. its a miney grab pure and simple
Ukraine already has a board of peace. It’s called the parliament.
Nazis to keep the country “safe”.
Terrorist warmonger states in “peace board”.
America 2026.
And it will only get worse.
This is the result of Americans allowing politics to completely turn away from any kind of truthfulness. Now truth doesn’t matter anymore, everything can be called anything.
Like most things he does…grift and destined to fail.
americans should be happy that the reality show character continues to make show, because this is what they initially wished by electing this guy for the first term and continued by electing for the second term. What americans really like in their politics and daily life is fake reality, phony idiots from the tv telling them lies and stupid ideas which have no logical value or sense at all, and that these idiots at the same time would say it is common sense. And this is not strange as we know that russians are used to live in fake reality for centuries, not even saying anything about last 25+ years with putin. That idiocracy which will eventually evolve to autocracy when even more stupid people will come to power was prophesied in 2000s in The Simpsons when the creators realised that reality show is not something in the tv but the american lifestyle. Now americans try to bring this shit to the rest of the world and knowing how much the people hate americans simply for being stupid in all of the world makes sense, as only undeveloped countries and some entities which even are not countries at all would join this reality show series with a phony title “peace”. All of that is crap which we see for the last year is only the beginning, americans want to prove for the world that their stupidity have no limits and want respect at the same time, which is sad but not surprising at all. We, the rest of the world, should be ready for even more of absurd coming in the next few years because it is already impossible that suddenly out of nowhere americans would start being rational, it will be worse and worse every year, month and day with this reality show creating more and more stupid content and nobody in the world is able to make this reality show stop as it is up to americans themselves. We are watching this shit but not participating and they still do not understand why all the world is not joining their stupid initiatives, why all the world literraly hates them while they compete with russia which of them are more fake, more arrogant, more mental. Nobody will tell that president that he is mental same as nobody tells putin, because everybody knows that it have no point, it was already told many times and the more you tell mental ppl that they are mentally unhealthy the more it gets out of control because they try to prove that their insanity is what is demanded and required by the nowadays standards, as they do not understand that the rest of the world did not evolved in reality show mentality as they did in america, neither in a fake state mentallity as they do in russia. Your tv is lying to you but you try to keep proving it is showing the truth, that is what we already know from russia, that is what we currently have reproduced in america, only the adopted version for american market.
Look. We all know Americans can’t even speak their own supposed language, or spell for shit.
Putin was bored of peace in 2014.
In 2022 Putin was very bored of peace.
In 2026 trump is so bored of peace not only is he murdering caribbean fisherman, he is murdering his own 2nd ammendment loving white American army vetereran nurse law abiding citizens.
Now all the bored people are getting together.
First meeting of the board of peace should be at the Hague.
Of course it falls flat. Failing and looking absurd are Trump’s mission goals in Washington, DC. He is to do as much harm to the United States as possible, as quickly as possible.
And in particular he is to sabotage Ukraine in the process. Yet something strange is happening. It seems that Ukraine’s network of friends and allies is still there no matter what divisive actions Trump stokes. It seems that *someone* created a resilient, damage-resistant alliance that could withstand the loss of the United States, before Trump got there.
