Palm Beach, Florida (UNA) :
In a significant diplomatic development, U.S. President Donald Trump hosted Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky at his Mar-a-Lago resort on Sunday. The meeting focused on a new proposal to conclude the ongoing war with Russia. Addressing reporters outside the Florida estate, President Trump emphasized that there is no fixed deadline for the peace process, but the primary objective remains a definitive end to the hostilities. He characterized the current diplomatic efforts as being in the "final stages," suggesting that a resolution could be on the horizon.
Prior to the meeting, President Trump held a "productive" telephone conversation with Russian President Vladimir Putin to discuss the conflict. Trump noted that the Russian leader appeared "very serious" about achieving peace. The proposed peace plan reportedly involves a strong agreement to guarantee Ukraine's future security, with significant involvement and support from European nations. This tripartite diplomatic engagement marks one of the most intensive efforts to mediate the conflict since its inception.
The Kremlin has responded to the talks by urging Kyiv to make the "brave decision" to withdraw its troops from the eastern Donbas region without delay. Russian officials have reiterated that a temporary ceasefire is not a viable solution, as they believe it would only allow for rearmament and lead to a resumption of hostilities later. Instead, Moscow is pushing for a final settlement that addresses the underlying causes of the conflict, including territorial control over the Donetsk region.
International observers and geopolitical analysts are closely watching the outcomes of the Florida summit, as it represents a shift toward direct high-level mediation. The focus is now on whether Ukraine and Russia can find common ground on territorial demands and security guarantees. While challenges remain regarding the specific terms of the withdrawal and the structure of international oversight, the meeting between Trump and Zelensky is seen as a critical step toward de-escalating the regional crisis.
