Zelensky to Meet Trump in Florida as Kremlin Weighs U.S.-Backed 20-Point Peace Plan

Overview

• Russia launched new missile and drone strikes on Kyiv and other regions, injuring at least eight and prompting temporary closures at Poland’s Rzeszow and Lublin airports.
• Zelensky says he will meet Trump on Sunday in Florida to address the hardest issues, including control of Donbass and the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant, and he expects movement before the New Year.
• Trump stated that Zelensky “doesn’t have anything” until he approves and indicated he expects to speak with Vladimir Putin soon.
• The Kremlin confirmed it received printed U.S. proposals delivered by envoy Kirill Dmitriev and that aide Yuri Ushakov held follow-up calls with U.S. officials, while Deputy FM Sergei Ryabkov said Kyiv’s revised 20-point text differs sharply from what Moscow discussed with Washington.
• Zelensky held an hour-long call with U.S. envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, outlined a front-freeze concept that drops a demand to renounce NATO ambitions, and signaled he could put any territorial concessions to a referendum if Russia agrees to a 60‑day ceasefire.
