U.S. President Donald Trump will meet Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky at the Mar‑a‑Lago residence in Florida. This meeting marks a crucial step in efforts to end the war with Russia. Both sides are seeking compromises, but many details remain unclear.
Negotiations covered key issues, including the possibility of freezing the front line and reaching a strategic consensus. The proposal calls for maintaining the current front positions. Russia refuses the demands for a full troop withdrawal and Ukraine’s NATO exit.
"Many things can be decided before New Year," the Ukrainian president said.
The new draft differs from earlier ones by omitting two conditions Moscow considers non‑negotiable. These involve a complete withdrawal of troops from Donbas and Ukraine’s formal commitment not to join NATO. This may allow a more flexible approach but raises concerns among European allies.
While optimism grows at Mar‑a‑Lago, European NATO allies observe the meeting with caution, fearing a bilateral agreement could hamper international support coordination.
