U.S. President Donald Trump described his talks with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy as "terrific" and stated that both sides are "very close" to a deal, with "a lot of progress" made. Zelenskyy echoed this sentiment, indicating 90% of a peace plan is complete and security guarantees are fully agreed. However, "one or two thorny issues remain," particularly concerning territory, and a wider settlement still appears distant. Both leaders' teams will meet again, with potential for future meetings involving Russia and European leaders.
