Trump to meet with Ukraine's Zelenskyy on Sunday in Florida

As Ukraine expressed willingness to withdraw troops from some occupied regions, Russia gave no indication it was ready to pull back from territory it has seized.

President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy are set to meet in Florida on Sunday, a possible sign of progress in U.S.-backed talks to end the nearly four-year war between Russia and Ukraine.

Zelenskyy first announced the meeting with Trump on X Friday, saying it would take place in the "near future." In a WhatsApp chat with Ukrainian journalists, he later said the meeting would take place Sunday.

The White House on Friday night confirmed those plans, listing a bilateral meeting between the two leaders Sunday at 3 p.m. ET on the president's public schedule. The meeting will take place in Florida.

In the WhatsApp chat, Zelenskyy said that it was unclear “whether territorial issues will be discussed.” He said he expected that they would discuss security guarantees for Ukraine and the U.S.-backed plan for a peace deal.

“The 20-point plan we have been working on is 90% ready,” he said. “Our task is to make sure everything is 100% ready. This is not easy, and no one says that 100% will happen immediately. But still, with each such meeting and each such conversation, we must bring the desired result closer.”
