美国总统唐纳德·特朗普(Donald Trump)表示，在与俄罗斯总统弗拉基米尔·普京(Donald Trump)通话并于周日在佛罗里达州与乌克兰总统弗拉基米尔·泽连斯基(Donald Trump)会晤后，双方团队“越来越接近，或许非常接近”达成乌克兰与俄罗斯之间的和平协议。
“我们开了一次很棒的会议。我们讨论了很多事情。如你所知，我与普京总统进行了长达两个多小时的愉快通话。我们讨论了很多问题，我确实认为我们越来越接近了，”特朗普说。
总统说，他们涵盖了结束战争所需的“95%”的问题。特朗普在与泽连斯基的双边会晤后详细介绍了与欧洲领导人的通话，表明进展顺利。
泽连斯基感谢川普主持会议，并指出双方团队距离达成和平协议有多近。
“我们取得了巨大的成就，20点和平计划，90%同意，还有乌美安全保证，100%同意。美欧乌安全保障几乎一致。军事维度，100%同意。繁荣计划正在敲定，我们还讨论了以下行动的顺序。我们一致认为，安全保障是实现持久和平的关键里程碑，我们的团队将继续在各个方面开展工作，”泽连斯基说。
领土和可能的非军事区
当被问及试图达成和平解决方案以结束战争的最棘手问题是什么时，特朗普说，这是领土。
“嗯，我想你说的那块地，其中一部分已经被占用了。其中一些土地可能会被拍卖，但它可能会在接下来的几个月内被收购，你最好现在就做交易——听着，让我告诉你，他们非常勇敢。他们非常努力地战斗，并继续非常努力地战斗，造成了巨大的破坏，”特朗普在谈到乌克兰军队时说。
特朗普被问及各方是否同意领土互换或拟议的顿巴斯非军事区，这将意味着俄罗斯和乌克兰都不会控制该领土。特朗普表示，“同意”这个词太过强烈，但他确实表示在这个问题上取得了进展。
特朗普随后被问及克里姆林宫最近的一份声明，声明称乌克兰必须完全放弃顿巴斯地区，他说这是一个团队必须“解决”的问题
“嗯，这就是他们一直要求的，”特朗普说，指的是俄罗斯。“而且，你知道，这是有争议的。所以他们必须解决这个问题。这是他们必须解决的问题。...我认为它正朝着正确的方向发展，”他补充道。
当泽连斯基被问及正在进行的讨论中的领土问题时，他说乌克兰的立场“非常明确”，这就是为什么川普说“这是一个非常棘手的问题”
“我们必须尊重我们的法律和人民。我们尊重我们控制的领土。当然，我们的态度非常明确。这就是为什么特朗普总统说这是一个非常棘手的问题。当然，我们和俄罗斯在这个问题上有不同的立场，”泽连斯基说。
关于可能的停火
特朗普被问及俄罗斯是否会同意停火，即使只是足够长的时间，让乌克兰就和平协议的部分内容举行公投。特朗普表示，这是谈判中的一个症结。
“不是停火。这是我们目前正在努力的一点。...他觉得看起来，你知道，他们在吵架，然后停下来，如果他们不得不重新开始，这是一种可能性，他不想在那个位置上。我理解那个立场，”特朗普说。
特朗普说，他们正在“寻找我们可以绕过它的方法。”
周日早些时候，当记者问普京是否认真对待和平时，考虑到俄罗斯对乌克兰的无情攻击，包括几十次无人机袭击据基辅空军称，特朗普在乌克兰问题上连夜重申，他认为普京是“认真的”。
“不，他很严肃。我想，你知道，我可以这么说。我认为乌克兰也进行了一些非常强烈的攻击，”特朗普说。“看，乌克兰人民希望它结束，俄罗斯人民希望它结束，两位领导人希望它结束。”
下一步
泽连斯基和川普都表示，谈判将在未来几周继续进行。特朗普表示，泽连斯基和其他欧洲领导人将在未来几周内会面，可能在白宫继续谈判。
特朗普表示，如果事情进展“非常顺利”，和平解决方案可能会在“几周内”达成，但也有可能永远不会取得突破。
“但你知道，几周后我们就会知道这种或那种方式，”特朗普说，并补充说，“这是一场非常艰难的谈判。”
据白宫称，出席会谈的美国代表团包括国务卿马尔科·卢比奥、国防部长皮特·赫格塞斯、参谋长苏西·怀尔斯、美国特使史蒂夫·维特科夫、参谋长联席会议主席丹·凯恩将军、联邦采购服务专员乔希·格伦鲍姆、白宫顾问斯蒂芬·米勒和总统的女婿贾里德·库什纳。
Trump says Russia and Ukraine are 'maybe very close' to peace deal after Zelenskyy meeting
President Donald Trump said that teams are "getting a lot closer, maybe very close" to achieving a peace deal between Ukraine and Russia after speaking to Russian President Vladimir Putin and having a meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in Florida on Sunday.
"We had a terrific meeting. We discussed a lot of things. As you know, I had an excellent phone call with President Putin that lasted for over two hours. We discussed a lot of points, and I do think we're getting a lot closer," Trump said.
The president said they covered "95%" of the issues needed to end the war. Trump then detailed the call with European leaders after his bilateral meeting with Zelenskyy, indicating that it went well.
Zelenskyy thanked Trump for hosting the meeting and also noted how close the teams were to achieving a peace deal.
"We have a great achievements, a 20-point peace plan, 90% agreed, and U.S.-Ukraine security guarantees, 100% agreed. The U.S.-Europe-Ukraine security guarantees almost agreed. Military dimension, 100% agreed. Prosperity plan being finalized, and we also discussed the sequencing of the following actions. And we agree that security guarantees is the key milestone in achieving lasting peace, and our teams will continue working on all aspects," Zelenskyy said.
On territory and a possible demilitarized zone
When asked what continues to be the thorniest issue in attempting to reach a peace settlement to end the war, Trump said that it is territory.
"Well, I think the land you're talking about, some of that land has been taken. Some of that land is maybe up for grabs, but it may be taken over the next period of a number of months, and are you better off making a deal now -- look, let me tell you, they have been very brave. They fought very hard, and continue to fight very hard and do tremendous damage," Trump said, speaking about the Ukrainian military.
Trump was asked whether the parties had agreed to territory swaps or the proposed demilitarized zone in the Donbas, which would mean that neither Russia nor Ukraine would control the territory. Trump indicated that "agreed" was too strong a word to use, but did say progress was made on the issue.
Trump was then pressed about a recent Kremlin statement saying that Ukraine has to give up the Donbas region entirely, which he said was an issue that the teams would have to "iron out."
"Well, that's what they've been asking for,”Trump said, referring to Russia.“And, you know, there's a dispute about that. So they're going to have to iron that out. That's an issue they have to iron out. ... I think it's moving in the right direction,"he added.
When Zelenskyy was asked about the issue of territory in the ongoing discussions, he said Ukraine’s position is “very clear,” which is why Trump said “this is a very tough question."
"We have to respect our law and our people. We respect the territory which we control. And of course, that our attitude is very clear. That's why President Trump said this is very tough question. And of course, we have with Russians different positions on it," Zelenskyy said.
On a possible ceasefire
Trump was asked about whether Russia would agree to a ceasefire, even if just for a long enough period for Ukraine to hold a referendum on parts of a peace deal. Trump indicated that it is a sticking point in the negotiations.
"Not a ceasefire. And that's one of the points that we're working on right now. ... He feels that look, you know, they're fighting and to stop and then, if they have to start again, which is a possibility, he doesn't want to be in that position. I understand that position," Trump said.
Trump said that they are "finding ways that we can get around that."
Earlier in the day on Sunday, when pressed by reporters on whether Putin is serious about peace, considering Russia’s relentless attacks on Ukraine -- includingdozens of drone strikeson Ukraine overnight, according to the air force in Kyiv -- Trump reiterated that he thinks Putin is “serious.”
“No, he’s very serious. I think, you know, I can say that. I believe Ukraine has made some very strong attacks also,” Trump said. “Look, the people of Ukraine want it to end, and the people of Russia want it to end, and the two leaders want it to end.”
On next steps
Zelenskyy and Trump both said negotiations would continue in the coming weeks. Trump said that Zelenskyy and other European leaders would meet, possibly at the White House, in the coming weeks tocontinue negotiations.
Trump said if things go “really well,” a peace settlement could be reached in “a few weeks,” but it’s also possible that a breakthrough never comes.
“But you know, in a few weeks we will know one way or the other,” Trump said, adding, "It's been a very difficult negotiation."
The U.S. delegation present at the talks, per the White House, included Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, Chief of Staff Susie Wiles, U.S. Special Envoy Steve Witkoff, Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Gen. Dan Caine, Federal Acquisition Service Commissioner Josh Gruenbaum, White House advisor Stephen Miller, and Jared Kushner, the president's son in law.
