Zelensky says he plans to meet Trump soon amid negotiations

The President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky, said this Friday (26) that he plans to meet soon with the President of the United States, Donald Trump, and that many decisions could be taken before the New Year, as Washington intensifies diplomatic efforts to end the war with Russia.

Zelensky has already declared that sensitive issues, including any territorial commitments, should be discussed at the level of heads of state, and Kiev has sought a face-to-face meeting with Trump.

“We have agreed on a high-level meeting with President Trump soon. A lot can be decided before the New Year,” he said in a post on the social network X after the latest round of talks between Ukrainian and American representatives.

The president met on Thursday (25) with Trump’s special envoy, Steve Witkoff, and the president’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner.

He said some documents, part of a broader plan aimed at ending the conflict and ensuring Ukraine’s reconstruction, were “almost ready”, while others were “fully prepared”.

Earlier this week, Zelensky presented a draft of , which he described as the main framework for ending the war.

Although the plan provided for security guarantees for Ukraine to prevent further Russian aggression, there was no consensus between Kiev and Washington on territorial issues, which Moscow demands be ceded.

Control of the Russian-occupied Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant also remained a point of contention.
