Trump praised the meeting with Zelensky

"Our meeting was excellent... we have made a lot of progress on ending that war," Donald Trump said.

Trump claimed that the parties had reached an agreement on about 95 percent of the issues, though he acknowledged it was difficult to name an exact percentage.

He emphasized that only one or two very complex issues remain that require further consideration.

According to Trump, if the negotiations continue successfully, the peace plan could be agreed upon within a few weeks.

After approximately two hours of negotiations at Trump's Mar-a-Lago residence in Florida, both leaders held a press conference. They evaluated the meeting positively and reported that they had discussed all aspects of the 20-point peace program.
