President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has said he will meet U.S. President Donald Trump on Sunday to discuss territory and security guarantees, as diplomatic efforts intensify to end Russia’s war in Ukraine.
“This meeting is specifically for the purpose of finalising everything as much as we can,” he said.
Zelenskyy added that compromises on territory and long-term security guarantees should be discussed only at the level of heads of state.
The Ukrainian leader said the two sides had already agreed on holding the meeting and that significant progress could be made before the New Year.
“We have agreed on a meeting at the highest level – with President Trump in the near future. A lot can be decided before the New Year,” Zelenskyy said in a post on X.
The comments followed talks on Thursday between Zelenskyy and Trump’s special envoy, Steve Witkoff, as well as Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner.
Zelenskyy said several documents forming part of a broader framework aimed at ending the conflict and supporting Ukraine’s reconstruction were either “nearly ready” or “fully prepared”.
Earlier this week, he presented a 20-point draft peace plan, describing it as the main framework for ending the war. The proposal includes security guarantees intended to prevent further Russian aggression.
However, Zelenskyy said there had been no agreement with Washington on territorial issues, which Moscow has demanded Kyiv concede. Control of the Russian-occupied Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant also remains subject to further discussion.
