Following talks in Florida, Donald Trump and Volodymyr Zelensky reported progress toward ending the war in Ukraine, though the US president noted that “one or two very thorny issues” remained unresolved.
Both leaders described the discussions as “great,” but Trump reiterated that territory remains a key sticking point, referencing Russia’s longstanding demands for Ukrainian land.
At a joint press conference at Mar-a-Lago, Zelensky stated the two sides had reached agreement on “90%” of a 20-point peace plan, while Trump said a security guarantee for Ukraine was “close to 95%” complete.
Zelensky added that US and Ukrainian negotiating teams will meet next week to continue work on the unresolved issues aimed at ending Russia’s nearly four-year-long invasion.
