A meeting with U.S. President Donald Trump will happen “in the near future,” Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said on Friday (December 26, 2025), signalling progress in talks to end the nearly four-year war between Russia and Ukraine.
“We are not losing a single day. We have agreed on a meeting at the highest level — with President Trump in the near future,” Mr. Zelenskyy wrote on X.
Putin has been briefed on U.S. proposals for Ukraine peace plan, the Kremlin says
“A lot can be decided before the New Year,” he added.
Mr. Zelenskyy's announcement came after he said on Thursday he had a “good conversation” with U.S. special envoy Steve Witkoff and Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner.
