Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy met U.S. President Donald Trump in Florida to discuss a draft 20-point framework intended to form the basis of a future peace agreement with Russia. Zelenskiy described the plan as a potential roadmap to end the war, following weeks of negotiations that modified an earlier 28-point draft.
The points that have largely been agreed upon focus on reaffirming Ukraine’s sovereignty, establishing robust security guarantees, and outlining economic and development support.
