“U.S. President Donald Trump said on Sunday that he and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy were ‘getting a lot closer, maybe very close’ to an agreement to end the war in Ukraine, while acknowledging that the fate of the Donbas region remains a key unresolved issue. The two leaders spoke at a joint news conference after meeting at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida on Sunday afternoon. Both leaders reported progress on two of the most contentious issues in peace talks — security guarantees for Ukraine and the division of eastern Ukraine’s [former] Donbas region that Russia has sought to capture.” (12/29/25)
