Trump and Zelenskyy Report Major Headway on Ukraine Peace Plan, With Donbas Still Unsettled

Leaders describe a largely complete 20‑point plan, with teams reconvening next week to close remaining points.

Overview

  • Zelenskyy says roughly 90% of the revised 20‑point framework is agreed, calling security guarantees fully settled, while Trump estimates the security piece at about 95%.
  • The future status of the Donbas region remains the key unresolved issue, and both leaders noted Ukraine and Russia hold sharply different positions.
  • Trump held a more than two‑hour call with Vladimir Putin before the Florida meeting and expects another, as Kremlin officials termed the discussion friendly and urged decisions on Donbas.
  • US and Ukrainian teams will meet next week, European leaders were briefed after the talks, and further coordination is expected in January, including sessions in Washington and a Paris gathering on security contributions noted by President Macron.
  • Hostilities continue, with Russian strikes reported in Kyiv and guided bombs hitting homes in Sloviansk, causing injuries and at least one death.
