Zelensky Meets Trump in Florida as Fresh Ukraine Peace Talks Begin

By Adamu Abubakar Isa

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has arrived in Florida for high-level talks with US President Donald Trump at the Mar-a-Lago residence, as diplomatic efforts to end the Ukraine–Russia war intensify.

The meeting is expected to focus on a revised US-backed peace framework, security guarantees for Ukraine, and possible compromises aimed at halting nearly four years of fighting.

Okay News understands that Trump struck an optimistic tone ahead of the talks, saying the discussions show “the makings of a deal,” while Zelensky expressed hope that the engagement would help bring peace “as quickly as possible.” The meeting follows a phone call between Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin, with President Trump claiming the Russian leader is serious about ending the conflict.

Despite the positive language, key issues remain unresolved, including territorial concessions and long-term security arrangements for Ukraine. Analysts note that while the talks mark a significant diplomatic moment, expectations of an immediate breakthrough remain cautious as fighting continues on the ground.
