Trump will end the Russia-Ukraine war! Three-hour talks with Zelensky regarding peace deal; Who is claiming Donbass?

The three-hour closed door conversation was not just diplomacy, it was also Ukrainian families There was also the burden of expectations of those who live with the sound of bombs every day. When the cameras turned on, the fatigue, caution and fear behind the words were clearly visible: Is this conversation really moving towards the end of the war, or is it going to be another unfulfilled promise?

This meeting between Donald Trump and Volodymyr Zelenskyy was important because for the first time it was openly said that the security guarantee is almost certain. But in the same breath it was also accepted that the land, especially Eastern Ukraine, is still the biggest wound, which is not ready to heal.

three hour conversation

After the meeting at Mar-a-Lago, Trump described the conversation as “very productive.” He said that both the sides have reached “very close”, but there is no fixed deadline. This statement in itself shows that the process has progressed, but there is not enough confidence yet that a final date can be written.

95% complete security guarantee

Trump said security guarantees for Ukraine are “about 95 percent” complete. Later he also added that he does not like to talk in percentages. This paradox shows that the framework of the agreement is in place, but the ultimate political risk is still preventing anyone from openly saying yes.

20-point peace plan

According to Zelensky, the 20-point peace plan has been finalized by 90 percent. This includes issues like ceasefire, security arrangements and future cooperation. But history is witness to the fact that peace plans remain on paper until the questions related to the ground are resolved.

Donbass: the most difficult front

Donbass region of eastern Ukraine is the most sensitive point of talks. Trump acknowledged that issues like free trade zones and land control are still unresolved here. He described it as “close”, but this “close” has so far stopped many peace efforts.

No compromise on land: Zelensky

Zelensky’s tone was clear when asked questions on Donbass. He said that Ukraine respects the areas which are under its control, and its approach is completely different from Russia. This statement is not just a strategy, but an attempt to give confidence to the soldiers and civilians who are standing at the front.

Solution possible in ‘a few weeks’

Trump said the war could be resolved in “a matter of weeks,” although he acknowledged there were no guarantees. On the one hand, this statement raises hopes, but on the other hand, it also increases international pressure on all parties that now there is less scope for procrastination.

Peace is incomplete without Russia

Before the meeting, Trump also talked to Vladimir Putin. According to Trump, Putin wants peace, but is not in favor of a ceasefire without a permanent agreement. This clearly means that without Moscow’s consent no deal will be sustainable.

Not rhetoric, concrete decision

Trump indicated that he is willing to go to Ukraine, but wants a concrete agreement first. At Zelensky’s request, a proposal to address the Ukrainian Parliament was also made. The message is clear that now is the time for concrete decisions, not rhetoric.
