Zelenskiy, Trump Meet in Florida for Ukraine Peace Talks
•
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy travels to Florida to meet with U.S. President Donald Trump, aiming to finalize a peace plan for the war in Ukraine. The talks focus on the future of Donbas and the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, with Zelenskiy seeking to soften a U.S. proposal for full Ukrainian withdrawal from Donbas. Russias recent missile strikes on Kyiv and other cities have been criticized as a response to these peace efforts. Zelenskiy has garnered support from allies, including Canada and European leaders, who advocate for a just peace that protects Ukraines borders. The talks have made progress, but territory remains a contentious issue. Russia demands all of Donbas and Zaporizhzhia, while Ukraine wants lines frozen at current positions. The U.S. proposes a free economic zone as a compromise. European partners are pushing for security guarantees for postwar Ukraine, and Zelenskiy plans follow-up calls with them after todays meeting. The Florida sit-down could significantly impact the path to lasting peace.
