Trump and Zelenski Report Major Progress on Ukraine Peace Draft After Mar-a-Lago Meeting

Technical teams will now try to close gaps on Donbas, Zaporizhzhia and security guarantees in talks planned for the coming weeks.

Overview

  • The leaders met for nearly three hours in Palm Beach and said a 20-point framework is roughly 90–95% complete, though no cease-fire or final agreement was reached.
  • Trump held a phone call with Vladimir Putin ahead of the meeting, confirmed by the Kremlin, as Russian missile and drone strikes on Kyiv continued.
  • Both sides agreed to create senior working groups and coordinate with European leaders to pursue remaining details over the next several weeks.
  • The most contentious items are control of the Donbas, the future management and safety of the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant, and concrete, enforceable security guarantees for Ukraine.
  • Options under discussion include NATO‑style guarantees, demilitarized zones along current lines, and potential Ukrainian elections or a referendum, while Moscow has not formally endorsed the package.
