"I hope the visit of President Zelensky will take place as soon as possible, because ... it will be help President Trump to continue his historical mission to end this war. Because [Trump] can say: 'Look, this is confirmed and agreed, our position with the Ukrainians. We support it, and we continue now to speak with the Russians.'"
"I think it now looks very solid. I think it's a historical decision of President Trump and the United States to issue these strong security guarantees, which Ukraine never had before. The security guarantees would be legally binding, and there has been positive reaction from the U.S. side to the idea of enshrining them in a formal treaty."
Discussions are underway about a potential meeting between the Ukrainian president and the U.S. president, with no date set. The meeting could be timed around Thanksgiving while the U.S. president is at Mar-a-Lago. Ukrainian leadership believes a visit would strengthen a U.S. leader's ability to present an agreed position and continue negotiations with Russia. The main friction is territorial concessions tied to a 28-point plan that would cede additional land to Russia and prompted backlash. The current draft reportedly aligns with Ukraine's interests and red lines except on territory. New text emphasizes strong, legally binding security guarantees backed by positive U.S. response to treaty language.
