Trump says Ukraine peace agreement is closer than ever
US President Trump met with Zelenskyy in Florida on Sunday and spoke with Putin, stating that he believes the Ukraine peace agreement is closer than ever, but did not reveal any specific progress.
According to AFP, after meeting with Ukrainian leaders at his Mar-a-Lago estate, Trump gave a speech showing great optimism but vague wording, assuring that the fate of the war would be decided in the coming weeks. At that time, senior officials from both countries were present.
The US president said the negotiation process was very difficult, but had made "many advances." He said, "I don't want to reveal specific timing, but I believe we will eventually reach an agreement." He also proposed giving a speech in the Ukrainian parliament to promote his peace plan.
According to AFP, Zelenskyy, who stood beside Trump, expressed great excitement, saying that "significant progress" had been made, especially that "90%" of the content in the US 20-point peace plan had been "approved," and that part of the "security guarantees" for Ukraine had been "approved," while another part had been "almost approved," and "a prosperity plan is being finalized."
Meanwhile, French President Emmanuel Macron announced on Monday that Ukraine's allies will hold a meeting in Paris in early January to discuss security guarantees for Ukraine under the framework of the peace agreement.
