Zelenskyy Says Ukraine Peace Framework Is 90% Complete as Talks Press On

Overview

• Weeks of U.S.-led diplomacy, including Zelenskyy’s talks with President Trump in Florida, have advanced a multipoint draft close to completion.
• Zelenskyy says he will only sign a strong agreement with credible guarantees and rejects any settlement he views as weak.
• The remaining disputes center on decisive issues such as territorial arrangements, security guarantees, and the status of the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant.
• Fighting continues, with Ukraine reporting roughly 200 Russian attack drones launched overnight during the New Year period and strikes across several regions.
• Further diplomatic engagement is expected, including a Jan. 6 meeting in France, as Kyiv urges timely delivery of pledged air-defense systems.
