Zelensky's Meeting with Trump: Why the Peace Agreement Remains Elusive.

According to ТСН: Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky met with his American counterpart Donald Trump in Florida, where their conversation lasted about three hours. However, after the meeting, both leaders did not announce any significant breakthroughs in the negotiations to end the war.

According to CNN, Trump and Zelensky are concerned about the duration and complexity of the negotiation process. Trump expressed a tolerant attitude towards Russia's positions but emphasized that he believes in the possibility of achieving peace.

Trump reported that teams from the USA, Ukraine, and Europe plan to continue active collaboration in the coming weeks and also scheduled a new conversation with Vladimir Putin.

Key Takeaways from the Meeting

1. The War May Last a Long Time

Trump noted that there are no clear timelines for the end of the conflict in Ukraine, but negotiations involving special U.S. representatives, Stephen Witkoff and Jared Kushner, are actively ongoing. He emphasized that 'it will either end or continue for a long time, and millions of people will be killed.'

“I think we are in the final stages of negotiations, and we will see. It will either end or continue for a long time, and millions of people will be killed,” said Trump.

Trump also expressed concern about the pace of negotiations, blaming either Zelensky or Putin for it.

2. Putin's Absence

During the meeting, Trump spoke with Putin before negotiations with Zelensky, which raised concerns among supporters of Ukraine.

“This is the pattern that has worried supporters of Ukraine in the past: before meeting with Zelensky, Trump hears Putin's point of view,” CNN emphasizes.

Trump noted Putin's readiness for a peaceful resolution of the conflict, stating that he 'wants it to happen.'

3. The Last 10%

Zelensky stated that 90% of the terms of the peace plan have already been agreed upon, but the remaining 10% are difficult to resolve.

“The main stumbling blocks are the fate of the nuclear power plant and territorial issues,” the report says.

Trump noted that territorial concessions could help achieve an agreement before possible new attacks.

4. Complex Relationships

The meeting between Trump and Zelensky took place in a more informal setting compared to previous encounters. Trump praised Zelensky for his efforts and bravery.

“This gentleman has worked very hard and is very brave, and his people are very brave,” said the American leader.

Zelensky thanked Trump at the beginning and end of the meeting, emphasizing the importance of cooperation between the countries.

In Florida, rumors also spread that Trump treated the Ukrainian delegation to delicacies such as chicken broth and chocolate cake.

Thus, the meeting between the leaders of Ukraine and the USA took place in a tense atmosphere, where key aspects of the peace process were discussed. It is important to note that despite the prolonged negotiations, both sides continue to seek possible ways to achieve peace, albeit not without the difficulties and challenges that lie ahead.
