"We are restarting our live coverage of the war in Ukraine as Volodymyr Zelenskyy is due to meet Donald Trump for the latest round of diplomatic talks in Florida at about 1:00pm (18:00 GMT). Their meeting at the US president's Mar-a-Lago home will be the pair's first in-person encounter since October, when Trump refused to grant Zelenskyy's request for long-range Tomahawk missiles. The pair will discuss an updated version of a US-brokered plan to end the nearly-four year war, which Russia is yet to support."
"In the days before the meeting, Russia has intensified its attacks on Ukraine's capital, using missiles and drones to attack Kyiv and try to increase the pressure on Zelenskyy. This morning, Ukrainians again woke up to reports of strikes in parts of the country, including in Kherson, where the State Emergency Service of Ukraine said one woman was injured after Russia launched massive shelling. Zelenskyy has said the priority is securing US security guarantees in order to protect Ukraine against future Russian aggression."
Volodymyr Zelenskyy is due to meet Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago at about 1:00pm (18:00 GMT), marking their first in-person encounter since October when Tomahawk missile requests were refused. The meeting will cover an updated US-brokered plan to end the nearly four-year war, which Russia has not supported. Russia intensified missile and drone attacks on Kyiv in the days before the talks, with strikes reported across the country and one woman injured in Kherson after massive shelling. Two private houses in Darnytskyi, Kyiv, caught fire on 27 December 2025. Priorities include US security guarantees, management of the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant, and control of the Donbas, where Moscow controls about 75% of Donetsk and about 99% of Luhansk.
