Overview
- Zelensky reported a preliminary understanding on security guarantees, said a 20‑point peace plan would go to a national referendum, and noted the U.S. proposed 15 years while Kyiv seeks 30–50.
- Trump said outcomes on a Ukraine–Russia agreement could be known within weeks and claimed Russia would help rebuild Ukraine, a statement not backed by confirmed Russian commitments.
- Kirill Dmitriev, a Kremlin-linked official, publicly praised Trump’s peace push, marking the first Russian reaction to the Trump–Zelensky meeting in Florida.
- Analysts caution that the status of Donbas remains the hardest issue, with the length and enforceability of guarantees also unresolved despite recent diplomatic momentum.
- Separate Trump–Netanyahu talks exposed friction over a U.S. multi‑stage Gaza plan, as Israel resists moving to the next phase without Hamas disarmament and tensions persist over Iran, Syria and Lebanon.
