U.S. President Donald Trump stated on Sunday that an agreement to end the war in Ukraine could be reached within weeks. He made the announcement alongside Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
The two leaders met at Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida. Following their talks, they reported progress on major issues in peace negotiations.
President Trump said they were "getting a lot closer, maybe very close" to a deal. However, he acknowledged that the status of the Donbas region remains a key unresolved issue. This eastern Ukrainian territory is currently controlled by Russia-backed forces.
Both leaders emphasized that security guarantees for Ukraine are a central part of the discussions. No further specific details of the potential agreement were provided.
