“I don’t have deadlines. You know what my deadline is? Getting the war ended,” Trump told reporters at the start of his meeting with visiting Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Florida.<\/p>\n

Asked whether their Sunday talks will lead to a peace deal, Trump said: “It depends — I do believe we have the makings of a deal,” noting that the Ukraine crisis has proved difficult to solve.<\/p>\n

Zelensky said his talks with Trump will focus on the latest draft of a 20-point peace plan and the sequencing of a settlement.<\/p>\n

“It’s very important our teams talk about strategy — how to make step-by-step, and to bring peace closer,” Zelensky said.<\/p>\n

Ahead of the meeting with Zelensky, Trump said on Truth Social that he “had a good and very productive telephone call” with Russian President Vladimir Putin.<\/p>\n

During the phone call, Trump and Putin agreed that a temporary ceasefire would only prolong the Ukraine crisis, Russian Presidential Aide Yuri Ushakov said.<\/p>\n

The two presidents “hold broadly similar views that the temporary ceasefire proposed by the Ukrainians and Europeans, under the pretext of preparing for a referendum or other pretexts, will only prolong the conflict and risk a resumption of hostilities,” Ushakov said.<\/p>\n

During the Florida talks, Trump and Zelensky are expected to discuss possible ceasefire arrangements, a proposed demilitarized zone, the management of the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, territorial control of the Donbas region, and security guarantees following the end of the crisis.<\/p>\n
