“We have made a lot of progress in ending this war,” Trump said of Ukraine and Russia.

The President of the United States, Donald Trump, described the meeting held this Sunday (28) with the President of Ukraine as productive, Volodymyr Zelensky. The meeting took place in Mar-a-Lago, Florida, and its main objective was to discuss conditions for ending the conflict between Ukraine and Russia, according to g1. According to Trump, progress has been made in the negotiations and the parties are close to an agreement aimed at establishing peace.

The Palm Beach meeting served to adjust certain points of the peace plan proposed by the North American government. Originally consisting of 28 points, the plan was revised by Ukraine into a 20-point version. According to the President of the United States, current efforts are aimed at finding a formulation acceptable to both the Ukrainian and Russian governments.

According to G1, during the meeting, Zelensky mentioned his intention to specifically discuss the demilitarization of the Donbass region. Trump, in turn, reported that he had previously spoken with Russian President Vladimir Putin and said that the Russian side had also expressed interest in ending hostilities.

To continue the process, a working group formed by the American and Ukrainian authorities will be created. This committee will have the task of detailing the clauses of the agreement with Russia. Although Donald Trump indicated that an outcome could come in the coming weeks, he stressed that he was not working to a strict deadline and acknowledged the possibility of obstacles in the negotiations.

The meeting was made possible after dialogues between the Ukrainian president and emissaries of the American government, including Steve Wittkoffsent to external affairs, and Jared Kushner. Trump interrupted his trip to Florida, which began on December 20, to hold the meeting in person.

American diplomacy remains focused on finalizing a proposal that harmonizes the territorial and security demands involved in the conflict. The progress reported by the authorities indicates an intensification of diplomatic activities towards the Eastern European region.
