US EditionUS and Ukraine 'a lot closer' on peace deal, Trump says after meeting with Zelenskyy
Trump and Zelensky report 90% agreement on a 20-point peace plan and full US-Ukraine security guarantees, but key territorial disputes remain unresolved, officials said.
- On December 28, President Donald Trump hosted Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy at Mar‑a‑Lago, with Zelenskyy saying the 20-point peace framework is 90% agreed after talks.
- The 20‑point proposal originated from a US‑and‑Russian negotiating track, growing from a Russian‑led 28‑point plan developed by Steve Witkoff, US special envoy, and Jared Kushner, US private envoy.
- The leaders coordinated with European institutions and NATO, with Trump saying 'security guarantees for Ukraine are' 95% done, and called European leaders after the talks.
- Working teams will keep negotiating in the coming weeks, with Trump planning follow-up meetings in Washington in January, while Zelenskyy said the full 20-point plan could be put to a referendum if needed.
- The Kremlin's firm posture clouds prospects for implementation, as Moscow controls about 20% of Ukrainian territory and shows little willingness to compromise, raising doubts over Russian acceptance and enforcement.
