Trump and Zelenskyy to meet at Mar-a-Lago, talks on Ukraine’s new 20-point peace plan and efforts to end the Russia-Ukraine war are likely to be on the agenda.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy will be meeting with US President DOnald Trump on Sunday at Mar-a-Lago.
US President Donald Trump on Sunday said he had a “very productive call” with Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and confirmed of the meeting at his Mar-a-Lago estate.
In a post on Truth Social, Trump said: “I just had a good and very productive telephone call with President Putin of Russia prior to my meeting, at 1:00 P.M. today, with President Zelenskyy of Ukraine. The meeting will take place in the main dining room of Mar-a-Lago. Press is invited. Thank you for your attention to this matter!”
Earlier in the day, Zelenskyy reached Miami on Sunday ahead of the meeting with Trump wherein they are likely to discuss the peace deal to end the Russia-Ukraine war.
Previously, Zelenskyy told reporters that he is bringing a new 20-point plan for peace, which includes a proposed demilitarised zone and the meeting is expected to focus on US security guarantees.
However, Trump made it clear that he is in no rush to accept Zelenskyy’s proposal. “He doesn’t have anything until I approve it. So we’ll see what he’s got,” he told Politico.
These remarks highlight how much Ukraine’s future depends on persuading Trump, who has at times seemed willing to tilt toward Russia in pursuit of ending the war. While Russia has moved very little from its position, the US has pushed Zelenskyy to move off his original demands.
Sunday’s meeting to discuss new peace proposals comes amidst Trump’s intensified efforts to broker an agreement on Europe’s worst conflict since World War II, which has killed tens of thousands since February 2022. Speaking to reporters, Zelenskyy said that though he could not confirm whether the meeting would lead to a firm agreement, the two sides would aim to “finalise as much as we can”.
