Zelensky says he will meet with Trump on Sunday: Peace framework agreement "almost ready"

Ukrainian President Zelensky stated that he will meet with U.S. President Trump in Florida on Sunday, and the peace framework agreement is "almost ready."

According to media reports, Zelensky said that signing the agreement will depend on his meeting with Trump. He revealed that he will discuss sensitive issues with Trump, including the future of Ukraine's eastern Donbas region and the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant.

According to Xinhua News Agency, on the evening of the 25th, Zelensky said that he had a phone call with Trump’s envoy Whitkopf and son-in-law Kushner on the same day, discussing topics such as the format of the upcoming meeting and the timetable for accelerating the realization of "true peace." The Russian side stated on the same day that it is analyzing the latest draft of the "peace plan."

Zelensky said, “At present, Ukraine has no direct communication channel with Russia. He hopes European leaders can participate online in his talks with the United States.” He stressed that the latest draft of the Russia-Ukraine "peace plan" cannot be signed without the participation of Russia and Europe, because Russia and Europe, as well as Ukraine and the U.S., are all parties that could reach a draft agreement.
