Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky reported significant progress in peace talks held at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort, though major hurdles persist. Both leaders noted that about 90% of a proposed 20-point peace plan had been agreed, while security guarantees were nearly 95% settled.
Key sticking points remain around territorial disputes, particularly the Donbas region. Russia demands further Ukrainian concessions, while Kyiv proposes a free economic zone under its control. Trump suggested potential trilateral talks involving the US, Russia, and Ukraine, but warned negotiations could still stall.
Zelensky praised the “substantive” discussions and confirmed that US and Ukrainian teams will reconvene next week to continue talks aimed at ending Russia’s nearly four-year invasion. European leaders welcomed the progress, emphasizing the need for strong security guarantees for Ukraine. Both sides expressed cautious optimism, recognizing that resolving land and long-term security issues is critical for lasting peace.
