In December 2025, US President Donald Trump stated that peace talks between Russia and Ukraine are in their "final stages" as he welcomed Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida. The two leaders met to discuss a new proposal aimed at ending the nearly four-year conflict. Trump expressed optimism about reaching a deal that would benefit all parties and guarantee Ukraine's security, potentially involving European countries. Zelenskyy confirmed that territorial concessions, previously a red line, would be discussed. The US has reportedly offered Ukraine security guarantees similar to those provided to NATO members, and Zelenskyy has indicated a willingness to drop Ukraine's NATO bid in exchange for such protections.
