Zelenskyy to Meet Trump in Florida to Discuss New 20-Point Ukraine Peace Plan Amid Russian Stance
On 28 December 2025, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is set to meet former US President Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago in Florida to discuss a newly crafted 20-point peace plan aimed at ending the war in Ukraine. The plan, developed by Kyiv, includes compromises and is reported by Zelenskyy to be 90% ready. This contrasts with an earlier 28-point US proposal regarded as more aligned with Russian demands.
Trump has indicated reluctance toward the plan and stated that progress cannot proceed without his approval. Meanwhile, Russian President Vladimir Putin has shown minimal change from his original position on Ukraine, with limited optimistic signals from Russian officials and no expectation of rapid developments in the near term.
Putin appears to benefit from tensions between the US and European allies, leveraging these divisions to pursue territorial ambitions. Any hesitation by Russia to endorse the peace plan will serve as a test of Trump's diplomatic strength, his commitment to peace efforts, and his political loyalties.
