Zelenskyy to meet Trump in Florida for talks on Ukraine peace plan

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and U.S. President Donald Trump will meet in Florida on Sunday to forge a plan to end the war in Ukraine, but face differences over major issues including territory as Russian air raids pile pressure on Kyiv.

Russia hit the capital and other parts of war-torn Ukraine with hundreds of missiles and drones on Saturday, knocking out power and heat in parts of the capital. Zelenskyy called it Russia’s response to the U.S.-brokered peace efforts.

Zelenskyy has told journalists that he plans to discuss the fate of eastern Ukraine’s contested Donbas region during the meeting at Trump’s Florida residence, as well as the future of the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant and other topics.

The Ukrainian president and his delegation arrived in Florida late on Saturday, Ukraine’s Deputy Foreign Minister Serhiy Kyslytsya said on X.

“Good evening, Florida!” Kyslytsya wrote, accompanying the post with a photo of an aircraft bearing the U.S. president’s surname on the fuselage.
