WASHINGTON — In a significant development toward resolving the prolonged Ukraine conflict, U.S. President Donald Trump declared substantial progress following high-level discussions with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky at a Florida summit on Sunday.
At a joint press conference, Trump revealed that diplomatic efforts had advanced remarkably, stating that approximately 95% of peace agreement terms had received consensus from involved parties. The President characterized the remaining challenges as ‘one or two very thorny issues’ requiring further negotiation.
The bilateral meeting featured expanded diplomatic engagement, with both leaders conducting consultations with European counterparts, including leadership representatives from NATO and the European Union. This multilateral approach signals strengthened international coordination toward conflict resolution.
Ukrainian President Zelensky corroborated the optimistic assessment, confirming near-complete agreement on security guarantees for Ukraine among the United States, European partners, and his government. ‘We comprehensively examined all aspects of the peace framework,’ Zelensky stated, indicating thorough preparation for potential implementation.
The diplomatic breakthrough follows extended periods of stalled negotiations and represents the most substantial progress toward peace since the conflict’s inception. Both administrations emphasized continued commitment to resolving outstanding issues through diplomatic channels.
