On Sunday, December 28, 2025, U.S. President Donald Trump said he had a "very productive" phone call with President Vladimir Putin of Russia. The chat set the stage for a high-stakes meeting at Mar-a-Lago with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, scheduled today at 1:00 P.M. 🇺🇸🤝🇺🇦
During the meeting in Florida, the two leaders dove into the latest draft of a 20-point peace plan aimed at ending the ongoing Ukraine crisis. Key topics on the table included:
- Ceasefire timetable 📆
- Demilitarized zone proposals 🚧
- Management of the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant 🏭⚛️
- Territorial control in the Donbas region 🌍
- Security guarantees post-conflict 🛡️
After their discussion, Trump told reporters that "we're getting a lot closer, maybe very close" to a deal. He noted that about 95% of the terms are settled, with only "one or two very thorny issues" left. Zelenskyy added that the U.S., Europe, and Ukraine have nearly 100% agreement on security guarantees.
Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov confirmed the Trump-Putin call, and European leaders, including NATO and EU heads, joined parts of the talks by phone. Both presidents expressed optimism that momentum is building toward a comprehensive peace agreement that could reshape regional stability.
As the world watches, many hope this renewed push leads to a lasting ceasefire and a roadmap for Ukraine's future. Stay tuned for updates on this historic effort. 🌏✌️
