"Zelenskyy arrives in the United States after visiting Halifax, Canada, where he met with Prime Minister Mark Carney, who offered support for Ukraine ahead of the crucial US talks, saying that Russia's "barbarism...shows just how important it is that we stand with Ukraine." Zelenskyy also held a conference call with European leaders. After the session, European Commission chief Ursula von der Leyen called for "a just and lasting peace that preserves Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity.""
"Zelenskyy -- with Europe's backing -- has proposed a 20-point plan to end Russia's war on his country, after earlier scrambling to counter a 28-point plan put forward by Trump in November that critics said was heavily skewed in Russia's favor. One of the critical issues at the heart of current negotiations is the fate of the eastern Donbas region."
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy will meet US President Donald Trump in Palm Beach as both leaders aim to hammer out a peace deal while Russia continues deadly air assaults on Kyiv and other cities. The White House listed the meeting at 3 p.m. Zelenskyy traveled from Halifax, where Prime Minister Mark Carney condemned Russian "barbarism" and expressed support ahead of the US talks. Zelenskyy held a conference call with European leaders; European Commission chief Ursula von der Leyen called for a just and lasting peace that preserves Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity. Zelenskyy has proposed a 20-point peace plan to counter a 28-point plan critics say favors Russia. A central negotiation issue is the fate of eastern Donbas, much of which is under Russian control, and Moscow has demanded Kyiv turn over areas it does not hold, including Kramatorsk and Slovyansk, which are key defensive cities.
