"WEST PALM BEACH, Florida President Donald Trump will host his Ukrainian counterpart, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, on Sunday to try to close out a peace agreement that would end nearly four years of war that began with Moscow's invasion of Ukraine. The two will meet at Mar-a-Lago, Trump's private club in Palm Beach, Florida, where the U.S. president is spending the holidays and has an agenda mostly filled with daily rounds of golf."
"Zelenskyy said the two planned to discuss security and economic agreements and he will raise "territorial issues" as Moscow and Kyiv remain fiercely at odds over the fate of the Donbas region in eastern Ukraine.

In response to the attacks, he wrote: "We want peace, and Russia demonstrates a desire to continue the war.
