Trump-Zelenskyy Peace Talks at Mar-a-Lago Show Major Progress on Ukraine War Settlement

President Trump and Ukrainian President Zelenskyy met at Mar-a-Lago on December 28, 2025, reporting major progress toward ending the Russia-Ukraine war. After Trump’s two-and-a-half-hour call with Russian President Putin, both leaders announced the peace framework is ninety to ninety-five percent complete, with US-Ukraine security guarantees one hundred percent agreed and the military dimension fully settled. The most difficult remaining issue involves the territorial status of the Donbas region, though both sides estimate a final deal could be reached within two to three weeks.
