Zelensky Announces Near-Term Meeting With Trump To Advance Ukraine Peace Framework

Kyiv seeks to move a revised U.S.-mediated 20-point plan forward as Moscow reviews the draft.

Overview

  • Zelensky said a high-level session with President Trump will take place soon, with reports pointing to Sunday in Mar‑a‑Lago that remain unconfirmed by Washington.
  • The publicly outlined 20‑point framework includes security guarantees for Ukraine, a freeze along current front lines, potential demilitarized zones, and revisions from an earlier 28‑point draft seen as too favorable to Moscow.
  • Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Russia is formulating its position on the plan, and Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova described talks with the United States as showing slow but steady progress.
  • Russia may discuss limited territorial exchanges but insists on full control of the Donbass, according to a Kommersant report cited by Reuters.
  • EU leaders have floated a European‑led, U.S.-supported force to secure any ceasefire, with EPP leader Manfred Weber urging German participation under an EU flag as NATO chief Mark Rutte emphasizes continued coordination with the United States.
