Former U.S. President Donald Trump stated a peace deal between Russia and Ukraine is “closer than ever” following a meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy at Mar-a-Lago. While Trump expressed optimism, he acknowledged no immediate breakthrough was achieved during their discussions.
Zelenskyy presented a 20-point peace proposal, outlining potential pathways to de-escalation. Notably, the Ukrainian President indicated openness to establishing a demilitarized zone within Ukraine’s heavily industrialized eastern regions, a concession that could form a basis for negotiation.
The meeting took place without the presence of representatives from the Biden administration. Details of the specific proposals discussed remain limited, but the encounter signals a continued effort to explore diplomatic solutions, even outside established channels. Despite Trump’s positive assessment, significant obstacles to a lasting peace remain, and active negotiations are not currently underway.
