Zelenskyy and Trump to meet in Florida for Russia-Ukraine talks

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is set to meet with US President Donald Trump to discuss territorial disputes and progress in ending Russia’s war on Ukraine, with Zelenskyy highlighting significant progress in negotiations. The main contentious issue remains territory, particularly in the Donetsk region and the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant, under Russian control. The US has proposed a free economic zone if Ukraine relinquishes control of the contested area, while Zelenskyy emphasized the need for public approval on any territorial concessions. Despite claims of progress, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov accused Ukraine of trying to sabotage peace talks, stating that any agreement should align with parameters set during a Trump-Putin summit.
