Trump Says Talks With Zelensky Made Progress at Mar‑a‑Lago, but No Ukraine Peace Deal Yet

Trump cast himself as the key decision‑maker, promising strong security guarantees for Ukraine if a plan is finalized.

Overview

  • After nearly three hours of talks in Florida, Trump reported “many progress” and claimed “95%” of issues are resolved, while both sides acknowledged no agreement was reached.
  • The main unresolved issue remains the future of the Donbass, with Zelensky indicating a possible referendum was discussed without detailing how it would be conducted.
  • Zelensky and Trump held a joint call with European leaders following their meeting, and Trump suggested presenting the U.S. plan to Ukraine’s parliament next.
  • The revised 20‑point U.S. proposal would freeze the front line and drops a legally binding pledge of non‑NATO status for Ukraine, a shift Moscow has publicly criticized.
  • The talks followed massive Russian strikes on Kyiv that killed at least two people and left over a million households without power, underscoring the urgency of securing a ceasefire framework.
