Trump and Zelensky Say Ukraine Peace Talks Near Finish After Mar-a-Lago Meeting

Talks move into a closing phase with security guarantees mostly settled, leaving Donbas status and a ceasefire as the major open issues.

Overview

  • Zelensky said a revised 20‑point framework is about 90% agreed, calling security guarantees fully settled, while Trump put security terms at roughly 95%.
  • Trump spoke with Putin for roughly two to two‑and‑a‑half hours before the meeting and said the Russian leader seemed serious about peace, though Moscow has not agreed to a ceasefire.
  • Both leaders identified the fate of the eastern Donbas as the principal unresolved question, with Zelensky stressing Ukraine’s legal and public constraints on any territorial decision.
  • Zelensky said U.S. and Ukrainian teams will meet next week to work on remaining points, and Trump said the outcome should be clearer within weeks; European leaders signaled support for continued momentum.
  • Russian strikes continued over the weekend, including attacks on Kyiv and guided bombs hitting homes in Sloviansk that local officials said caused injuries and at least one death.
