A meeting between Donald Trump and Volodymyr Zelenskyy in Florida on Sunday raised the possibility of a future call between Zelenskyy and Vladimir Putin, potentially the first in over five years. Trump stated he had spoken with Putin prior to the meeting and believes a deal between Russia and Ukraine is possible. According to a source, securing a Zelenskyy-Putin call would be a "diplomatic victory" for Trump, who sees himself as a successful mediator. The meeting, the third between Trump and Zelenskyy since Trump returned to office, centered on a U.S.-backed peace plan requiring compromise from both Kyiv and Moscow. Zelenskyy reportedly feels anxious before meeting with Trump.
