Trump says he had 'very productive' call with Putin ahead of Zelenskyy meeting
Trump’s call with Putin, their first since October, preceded a key meeting with Zelenskyy to discuss a 20-point peace plan amid intense Russian attacks on Kyiv, officials said.
- President Donald Trump confirmed a morning phone call with President Vladimir Putin just hours before his 1:00 p.m. meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, with the Kremlin confirming the conversation.
- The meeting at Mar-a-Lago was convened to hammer out a 20-point peace plan as urgency rose after a major missile and drone barrage hit Kyiv the day before on Dec. 28, 2025.
- Putin's foreign affairs adviser Yuri Ushakov said the call lasted just over an hour and was initiated by the U.S. side, while Trump called it `good and very productive` and the Kremlin confirmed the talk.
- The session took place inside Mar-a-Lago's main dining room and Trump said he was optimistic about a deal, planning to call Putin and European leaders later Sunday while Zelenskyy's office will brief allies by phone.
- Key sticking points include territorial concessions in Donbas and Russia’s demands to recognize its gains and Crimea, while the 20-point draft proposal is about 90% ready and includes an 800,000-troop military cap.
