Overview
- Zelensky is set to see Trump on Sunday at Mar-a-Lago to discuss contested territories, the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant, and potential Western security guarantees.
- The reworked U.S. 20-point proposal would freeze the current front line and no longer includes a legally binding NATO non‑adhesion pledge for Ukraine.
- Moscow says the new text differs radically from earlier understandings and signals its approval is unlikely in the current form, as the Kremlin confirms a recent U.S.–Russian phone contact without details.
- On the battlefield, loud explosions were reported overnight in Kyiv, Ukraine confirmed a withdrawal from Siversk earlier this week, and strikes killed and injured civilians in Kharkiv.
- Trump says he expects discussions with Zelensky to go well and plans to speak with Putin soon, while Kyiv continues consultations with European leaders and NATO’s secretary general.
