Overview
- After talks at Mar-a-Lago, both leaders said a 20-point plan is about 90% complete, with security guarantees for Ukraine described as 95–100% agreed and heavily supported by Europe.
- The future of Donbas remains the main sticking point, with Moscow seeking full control, Kyiv favoring a freeze at current lines, and U.S. ideas such as a free economic zone still under discussion.
- Zelenskyy said the U.S. offered roughly 15 years of security guarantees, while he is pressing for commitments up to 50 years, with any pact subject to parliament or a referendum in Ukraine.
- Trump spoke with Vladimir Putin for more than two hours before the meeting and plans another call, as the Kremlin rejected a 60‑day ceasefire and framed a quick decision on Donbas as necessary.
- Negotiators also addressed the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant, including proposals for shared control, as Russian missile and drone strikes continued and Ukraine disputed Moscow’s claims of new territorial gains.
