Overview
- Both leaders called the Mar-a-Lago talks positive and cited progress, yet offered few specifics and acknowledged one or two unresolved issues.
- Security guarantees were described as largely agreed by the sides (Zelensky said 100 percent, Trump 95 percent), with territorial demands in Donetsk still a key sticking point.
- Follow-up negotiations will be handled by technical teams in the coming weeks, with a possible January session in Washington and a new working group named by the U.S. side.
- The discussions centered on Ukraine’s revised 20-point plan seeking enforceable protections and reconstruction funding, which Moscow has publicly rejected.
- Trump spoke with Putin before the meeting and may call again; Russia was not at the table, continues military pressure, and insists Kyiv decide quickly on the Donbass, while European leaders pledged coordinated support for Ukraine.
