Trump and Zelenskyy Report Progress in Florida Talks as Donbass Dispute Persists

Talks now move to working-level teams with European participation.

Overview

  • Both leaders said the meeting produced major progress on a revised 20‑point framework, yet no final agreement was announced.
  • Trump pledged “strong” U.S. security guarantees with a European role, while Zelenskyy said guarantees are fully agreed and Trump put agreement at 95 percent.
  • The status of the Donbass remains the central unresolved issue, with Russia absent from the talks and continuing to press maximal territorial demands.
  • Trump held a pre‑meeting call with Vladimir Putin he called productive, and a Kremlin aide said both opposed a temporary ceasefire and urged swift decisions on Donbass.
  • Negotiating teams will reconvene in the coming weeks, and a follow‑up session including European leaders is planned, as Ukraine also seeks more air‑defense systems and reconstruction financing.
