Overview
- Both leaders said the plan is largely agreed, with Zelenskyy putting it at about 90% and Trump saying security guarantees are roughly 95% settled.
- Territory remains the hardest issue, with Moscow pressing for full control of Donbas, Kyiv resisting beyond current lines, and a U.S. idea of a free economic zone under discussion.
- Zelenskyy said the U.S. offered 15 years of security guarantees as he seeks 30–50 years, noting any pact would require approvals in Kyiv and likely in the U.S. and Europe.
- Russia launched heavy strikes over the weekend as talks advanced, then alleged a 91‑drone Ukrainian attack on a Putin residence that Kyiv dismissed as a false claim; Moscow said it would review its negotiating stance.
- Trump held lengthy calls with Putin before and after the Florida meeting, the Kremlin argued a ceasefire would prolong the war, and European capitals plan early‑January meetings, with talks also addressing arrangements for the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant.
