Volodymyr Zelenskyy said US security guarantees for Ukraine were "100% agreed" following a high-stakes meeting with Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago on Sunday.
The Ukrainian President hailed "great achievements" following a bilateral meeting with the US President, who insisted that the Russia's war against Ukraine must end soon.
Zelenskyy told reporters in Florida US security guarantees for the country, a key point before a peace settlement can be finalised, have been "100% agreed" and an economic plan to revitalise the Ukrainian economy ravaged by war is "almost finalised."
"We have great achievements, the 20-point peace plan is 90% agreed and US-Ukraine security guarantees are 100% agreed," Zelenskyy told reporters. "US, Europe and Ukraine security guarantees are almost agreed. The military dimension is 100% agreed."
Trump said the talks with Zelenskyy and the Ukrainian delegation will continue on Monday. While hailing a good meeting, the US President conceded the most sensitive issue, namely the possible partition of territories, remains unsolved.
“Some of that land is maybe up for grabs," Trump said. "They're going to have to iron that one out. But I think it's moving in the right direction.”
Without putting a deadline or signaling a timeline, Trump said “we will see in a few weeks” if the peace plan works out.
Trump said Europe will be responsible for a significant part of Ukraine's future security structure but added that the US "will help" without giving more details.
The two presidents held phone call with the European leaders, which lasted for over an hour, during their meeting on Sunday.
The President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen said the meeting established "good progress" and Europe will keep "working with Ukraine and our US partners to consolidate this progress," she added in a post on X after the call.
Von der Leyen stressed that "paramount to this effort is to have ironclad security guarantees from day one" to end a decade-long pattern of aggression from Russia.
The leaders of Finland, France, Poland, the UK, Germany, Italy and Norway as well as the Secretary General of NATO joined the call on Sunday.
