Zelensky and Trump to meet on December 28: key topics of peace negotiations.
According to ТСН: Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky announced a planned meeting with U.S. President Donald Trump. According to western media, the talks will take place on Sunday, December 28, in Florida.
Main topics of the negotiations
The main topic of the negotiations will be the 20-point peace plan and security issues for Ukraine. One of the key problems remains Russia's demands for control over Donetsk.
Zelensky's statement on the decision before the New Year
Zelensky announced the meeting with Trump on his Telegram channel, noting that 'we do not lose a single day. We agreed to meet at the highest level with President Trump soon. A lot can be decided before the New Year.'
He also emphasized the importance of discussing security guarantees for Ukraine and the country's recovery after the war. The President of Ukraine plans to raise the issue of increasing pressure on Russia to force it to sit at the negotiation table.
Kremlin's reaction to the peace plan
Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova noted 'slow but steady' progress in negotiations with the U.S. The Kremlin added that they are studying the peace plan received after negotiations in Miami, but no meeting of the leaders is currently planned.
Putin's ultimatum and demands on Ukraine
At a meeting of the Russian Security Council, Putin repeated his ultimatum demanding the full transfer of Donbas to Russia. He noted that the issue of the ownership of Sloviansk, Kramatorsk, and Kostiantynivka is not up for discussion. Without Ukraine's participation, the Kremlin is allegedly negotiating joint management of the Zaporizhzhia NPP.
Territorial issues and meeting format
Zelensky stated that during the meeting with Trump, all issues will be addressed, including territorial ones. U.S. aides are proposing a compromise option regarding the status of disputed areas in Donetsk region.
He also emphasized that the management of territories should be resolved through a referendum in Ukraine, and if the negotiations are successful, 'free economic zones' may be offered.
Russia's readiness for a ceasefire
For the first time, Russia expressed readiness for a ceasefire to hold a referendum in Ukraine, but the duration of this ceasefire remains a subject of negotiations, as Ukraine demands a 60-day silence regime. American officials note that diplomacy has advanced more than in the previous year.
Experts believe that the Kremlin should reconsider its demands that contradict the new peace plan. Meanwhile, the Russian side emphasizes its readiness to fight until it achieves its goals if the terms of the agreement do not suit it.
This meeting between Zelensky and Trump could be an important step in the peaceful resolution process of the conflict in Ukraine. Discussing security and economic aspects may open new opportunities for improving the situation in the region. It is important, both in the U.S. and in Ukraine, to adhere to the principle of compromise to move forward on issues vital to both countries.
