Ukraine and U. S. Leaders Set to Talk Before New Year

Volodymyr Zelenskiy has hinted that significant events could unfold before the end of the year. He is set to meet with U.S. President Donald Trump soon, as the U.S. seeks a peaceful resolution to the war with Russia.

Key Points

• High-Level Negotiations: Zelenskiy believes that complex issues, such as territorial concessions, should be discussed at the highest levels.
• Face-to-Face Meeting: He has expressed a desire to meet Trump in person and shared this news on X, a social media platform, following recent talks with U.S. negotiators.
• Recent Discussions: Zelenskiy spoke with Steve Witkoff, Trump's special envoy, and Jared Kushner, Trump's son-in-law. Some documents for ending the war and rebuilding Ukraine are nearly completed, while others are already ready.

Zelenskiy's 20-Point Plan

Earlier, Zelenskiy presented a 20-point plan to end the war, which includes security guarantees to prevent future Russian aggression. However, there is still no agreement on the territory that Russia demands Ukraine to cede. The control of the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant remains a contentious issue.

U.S. Efforts for a Pre-New Year Deal

The U.S. is pushing for a deal before the New Year. The upcoming meeting between Zelenskiy and Trump could be pivotal, but the outcome remains uncertain.
