"Donald Trump claimed Friday that he'll be the one to give the final word on a peace deal between Russia and Ukraine. In an exclusive interview with Politico, Trump said that, despite anything Zelensky proposes when they meet up at Mar-a-Lago on Sunday, the Ukrainian president doesn't have anything until I approve it, Trump said. So we'll see what he's got."
"Zelensky told reporters that his new 20-point plan for peace includes a proposed demilitarized zone with one key condition: Russia would have to withdraw its forces from a corresponding stretch of land in Donetsk, Politico reported. Ukrainian officials have described the plan as an attempt to show flexibility without conceding territory, the report said. Trump seemed optimistic about the meeting with Zelensky, telling Politico, I think it's going to go good with him."
President Donald Trump said he will have the final say on any Russia-Ukraine peace deal and claimed Ukrainian proposals require his approval. President Volodymyr Zelensky presented a 20-point peace plan proposing a demilitarized zone contingent on Russian withdrawal from a corresponding stretch of Donetsk. Ukrainian officials described the plan as showing flexibility without conceding territory. Trump expressed optimism about meetings with Zelensky and with Vladimir Putin and said Russia's strained economy could affect negotiations. Zelensky recently spoke with U.S. special envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner. Meeting topics include security guarantees, Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant management, and control of Donbas. Russia insists on full control of the region. The 2022 invasion has caused hundreds of thousands of military and civilian deaths.
