Zelensky and Trump Announce Breakthrough in Negotiations: Peace Plan Agreed Upon by 90%.

According to ТСН: Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and US President Donald Trump held a joint press conference during which they discussed important aspects of the peace plan and security guarantees for Ukraine.

Main Messages from Volodymyr Zelensky:

• The negotiations were successful, and the parties made significant progress. The 20-point peace plan is agreed upon by 90%, and security guarantees from the USA are at 100%.

• Security guarantees are a key element, and negotiations with European leaders have proven constructive.

• Ukraine respects the territories it controls and notes the differences in positions with Russia regarding these territories.

• Zelensky expressed hope that all points of the peace plan will be agreed upon in January.

• Referendums or parliamentary votes may be organized to approve the peace plan.

• Ukrainian citizens will be able to participate in referendums, and appropriate infrastructure in Europe needs to be created for Ukrainians abroad to take part.

Key Points from Donald Trump:

• The meeting turned out to be very productive, and the parties became 'very close' to reaching agreements.

• Both Russia and Ukraine are eager to end the war; however, there are one or two complex issues.

• Trump is ready to visit Ukraine and speak in parliament if it can help save lives and expedite peace.

• The US President noted that he will continue negotiations with Volodymyr Zelensky the next day.

• The issue of a free trade zone in Donbas remains unresolved, but the parties are moving closer to an agreement.

• Vladimir Putin is cooperating with Ukraine regarding the reopening of the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant; the station may start operating soon, with the priority being to avoid strikes on the station.

• Working groups from Ukraine and Russia will collaborate to implement what has been achieved.

• The war could end in a few weeks, but the risk of protracting the conflict remains if negotiations fail.

• According to Trump, Russia wants to see a 'prosperous Ukraine', although Putin has no intention of stopping the war.

Earlier, Trump stated that he would continue to communicate with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky the next day.

It was also reported that Trump believes there are currently conditions for a peace agreement beneficial to Ukraine.

Such negotiations between Ukraine and the USA could be an important step towards stabilizing the situation in the region. Cooperation between independent states in this difficult time can accelerate the process of restoring peace in Ukraine and improve security in Europe as a whole.
