Zelenskyy to Meet Trump in Florida to Discuss Peace Plan and Security Guarantees

Zelenskyy-Trump Meeting

• 🇺🇦 President Zelenskyy is scheduled to meet with President Trump at Mar-a-Lago on Sunday to discuss a slimmed-down peace plan.
• 💡 The plan, originally 28 points, is now down to 20 points and is reportedly 90% aligned with the United States.

Key Discussion Points

• 📌 A major sticking point is territory, specifically in the Donbas region, which Russia currently controls about 70% of.
• ⚔️ Zelenskyy proposes a demilitarized zone in Donbas, coupled with security guarantees to deter further Russian aggression.
• 🎯 The goal is to compel Putin to come to the negotiating table and prevent Russia from continuing its attack into other Ukrainian regions like Kharkiv and Kyiv.

Putin's Stance on Peace

• 📉 Despite Zelenskyy's concessions, the assessment is that Putin does not want peace and aims to take over Ukraine and potentially the Baltic states.
• ⏳ Putin is seen as looking to delay negotiations to gain opportunities on the battlefield, especially in the Donbas region.
• 🕊️ True peace talks involving the United States, Russia, and Ukraine are considered a long way off, contingent on Putin's willingness to negotiate.
