Overview
- After a nearly three-hour meeting at Mar-a-Lago, the leaders said the draft is largely complete, placing progress around 90–95% while cautioning that the hardest items remain.
- Trump held a phone call with Vladimir Putin before the talks that the Kremlin confirmed, and he said further conversations with Putin would follow.
- Key sticking points include territorial control in Donbas, the status and management of the Zaporizhzhia nuclear facility, and the design and monitoring of post-conflict security guarantees.
- Zelensky said any agreement would go to a popular vote in Ukraine, and both sides consulted European leaders who signaled continued support.
- Russian missile and drone strikes continued during the diplomacy, and Trump said it should be clear within weeks whether a final agreement can be reached, with no formal acceptance yet from Moscow.
