"United States President Donald Trump hosted Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy for talks at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida and said the two leaders were getting a lot closer, maybe very close to a deal to end the war in Ukraine. Trump and Zelenskyy reported progress on two of the most contentious issues in the peace talks: security guarantees for Ukraine and the division of eastern Ukraine's Donbas region that Russia has sought to capture."
"Both Trump and Zelenskyy said that the future of the mostly Russian-occupied Donbas had not been settled, though the US president said discussions were moving in the right direction. It's unresolved, but it's getting a lot closer. That's a very tough issue, Trump said. The two leaders did not offer further details or a deadline for completing the deal, but Zelenskyy said any peace agreement would have to be approved by Ukraine's parliament or by a referendum."
"Shortly after the Trump-Zelenskyy meeting, Russian President Vladimir Putin's special envoy, Kirill Dmitriev, wrote on X that the whole world appreciates Trump and his team's peace efforts. Ahead of the meeting with Zelenskyy, Trump and Putin spoke for more than two hours on the telephone. The US president described the call as excellent and productive. Trump said he would call Putin again after the meeting with Zelenskyy."

Both leaders reported progress on security guarantees for Ukraine and on the division of the Donbas region that Russia has sought to capture. Zelenskyy said a deal on security guarantees had been reached; Trump said they were 95 percent of the way, though Donbas remains unresolved. Any peace agreement would require approval by Ukraine's parliament or a referendum, and Putin's envoy publicly praised Trump's peace efforts after a lengthy call with Putin.
