Overview
- Zelensky said the near-final 20-point plan includes U.S. security guarantees for 15 years with the option to extend, while Kyiv is seeking 30–50 years, and key gaps persist on Donbass and the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant.
- The Kremlin accused Ukraine of launching 91 drones at a Putin residence in Novgorod and said it will reassess its negotiating stance; Ukraine called the claim a fabrication, and the White House described a subsequent Trump–Putin call as positive.
- Reports suggest the Mar-a-Lago talks could open the way to the first Zelensky–Putin phone call in over five years, with advisor-level follow-ups planned in Kyiv, Paris and Washington.
- Trump met Netanyahu and pushed to start Gaza’s second phase that would require Hamas disarmament, full Israeli withdrawal and an international stabilization force, warning Hamas to disarm quickly or face a high price.
- No second-phase accord is signed: Israel has not fully reopened Rafah and links further steps to the return of hostage Ran Gvili’s remains, while Hamas says it will not disarm under occupation.
