- Zelensky is traveling to meet President Trump in Florida on Sunday to present a roughly 20-point framework that he says is about 90% complete.
- Trump told Politico that Zelensky “doesn’t have anything until I approve it,” underscoring Washington’s central role in any agreement.
- The draft’s toughest issues remain territorial arrangements in Donetsk, legally binding security guarantees and the future control of the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant.
