Zelenskyy to meet with Trump as efforts to end Russia-Ukraine war remain elusive

The 20-point peace plan is about 90% complete, aiming for security guarantees and territorial settlements despite ongoing Russian attacks, Trump and Zelenskyy said.

  • On Sunday, December 28, Volodymyr Zelenskyy met President Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago to discuss ending the war, focusing on territorial concessions and security guarantees.
  • On December 27, Russian forces launched over 2,100 attack drones, around 800 guided aerial bombs and 94 missiles, killing civilians and damaging infrastructure in Kyiv, Ukraine.
  • Zelenskyy said he would put territorial concessions to a referendum if Russia first agrees to a 60-day ceasefire, adding Kyiv codified many terms into five documents after negotiating Donbas withdrawals.
  • Following the talks, Donald Trump said the sides were 'about 95%' there and signalled European allies would take over a big part of long-term commitments, praising Vladimir Putin as 'very generous'.
  • Analysts note the pact depends on Russian buy-in and there is no guarantee Vladimir Putin, Russian President, will accept terms; if accepted, it could include NATO-like protections and reconstruction funding with support from European partners and Mark Carney, Canadian prime minister.
