"The two leaders are expected to discuss the latest iteration of a 20-point peace plan and the unresolved question of the future of Ukraine's eastern Donbas region. Vladimir Putin has demanded Ukraine hand over territory in the north of Donetsk oblast that his forces have been unable to capture. Zelenskyy's counter-proposal envisages a demilitarised zone, with both sides withdrawing from the line of contact. The plan could be put to a referendum, providing Moscow first agrees to a ceasefire lasting from 60 to 90 days."
"The Ukrainian president said to Carney: We need two things, pressure on Russia and sufficient strong support for Ukraine.Ukraine's capital was hit by more than 500 drones and ballistic missiles across Friday night and Saturday. The 12-hour onslaught killed two people and left half a million without power. Carney called the bombardment barbaric. A willing Russia was necessary to create conditions for a just and lasting peace, he said."
Donald Trump and Volodymyr Zelenskyy are scheduled to meet at Mar-a-Lago to consider a revised 20-point peace plan. Zelenskyy arrived in Florida with a Ukrainian delegation and will press on Donbas and a proposal for a demilitarised zone with mutual withdrawals. The proposal could go to a referendum if Moscow first agrees to a 60-to-90-day ceasefire. Kyiv endured a 12-hour barrage of more than 500 drones and ballistic missiles, killing two people and leaving half a million without power. Security guarantees to prevent renewed aggression remain unresolved and Trump has made no US military commitment to defend Ukraine.
