Overview
- Zelensky says he will meet President Trump at Mar-a-Lago on Sunday to refine a roughly 90% complete 20-point framework and a separate U.S. security pact.
- Trump told Politico, “He doesn’t have anything until I approve it,” and said he expects to speak with Vladimir Putin soon.
- The talks will focus on security guarantees and sensitive territorial questions, including Donbas and the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant.
- Draft elements reported across outlets include NATO-style guarantees, a demilitarized or “free economic” zone in parts of Donbas, and allowance for a peacetime Ukrainian force near 800,000 troops.
- Zelensky says he could seek a nationwide referendum if Russia agrees to a 60-day ceasefire, while Moscow has not accepted the draft and the Kremlin says aide Yuri Ushakov has discussed proposals with U.S. officials.
