Trump and Zelenskyy Discuss Ukraine Peace Plan
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy of Ukraine met with former US President Donald Trump in Florida to talk about a new peace plan for Ukraine.
This plan includes possible territorial concessions and security guarantees.
Russia, however, wants to keep all the land it has taken and has been criticizing Ukraine and its European supporters.
European allies have promised to support Ukraine's peace efforts.
The meeting happened after a big Russian attack on Kyiv, which showed that Russia might not want peace.
Both sides are preparing for the talks, with Russia saying it will keep fighting if Ukraine doesn't agree to peace terms.
Trump said the talks are in the final stages and that either the war will end or it will continue for a long time.
Zelenskyy presented a 20-point peace plan to Trump, which may involve territorial concessions.
Trump had a 'very productive' 2.5-hour phone call with Putin before meeting Zelenskyy.
Russia demands all territory it has seized, while Ukraine proposes demilitarized zones and security guarantees.
European allies support Ukraine's peace efforts and vow to maintain pressure on Moscow.
Russia accuses Ukraine and Europe of obstructing peace and threatens military action if talks fail.
