A new round of Peace Talks focused on Ukraine could mark a pivotal moment in the nearly four-year war, as Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and President Donald Trump are set to meet on Dec. 28, according to Zelenskyy.
The planned meeting, reportedly scheduled to take place at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida, comes amid intensified diplomatic activity, shifting battlefield dynamics in eastern Ukraine, and mounting questions over whether Russia is willing to compromise at all.
Although the White House did not immediately confirm the meeting when contacted by USA TODAY, Zelenskyy described the sit-down as being “specifically for the purpose of finalizing everything as much as we can,” adding on social media that “a lot can be decided before the New Year.”
