Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky plans to meet US President Donald Trump in Florida on Sunday to discuss a US-brokered peace plan to end Russia's full-scale war in Ukraine. Zelensky aims to focus on the peace plan and separate US security guarantees. However, a senior Russian official has expressed skepticism, stating that the plan is 'radically different' from the one Russia is negotiating with the US. Meanwhile, Russia continues its aerial attacks on Ukraine, injuring at least five people in Kyiv overnight. The proposed peace plan includes establishing a demilitarized zone in eastern Ukraine and security guarantees modeled on NATO's Article 5.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy reported having a 'very good conversation' with Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner on Christmas Day, discussing ongoing work on a potential peace deal with Russia.

The conversation, which lasted nearly an hour, included Ukraine's national security adviser Rustem Umerov and other diplomatic team members. Despite ongoing talks, Russia continued its missile and drone attacks on Ukrainian cities.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy expressed optimism about the progress of peace negotiations with US officials, including Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff, after discussing a draft peace framework that has been reduced to 20 points from 28. The framework includes proposed security guarantees involving Ukraine, European allies, and the US, as well as an initial outline for Ukraine's post-war recovery. However, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova stated that talks between Washington and Moscow were moving forward gradually, while accusing Western European countries of trying to undermine the process.

Russia launched a massive missile and drone attack on Kyiv, Ukraine's capital, on Saturday, injuring at least 11 people and causing widespread damage, just ahead of a meeting between Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and US President Donald Trump to discuss a peace plan. The attack, which lasted for hours, targeted multiple locations, including residential areas and a university dormitory, leaving nearly a third of the capital without heat. The assault comes as the US is leading peace negotiations, but Moscow has shown little indication of willingness to end the war. Trump is expected to meet with Zelensky on Sunday to discuss a 20-point draft peace plan, but his comments on Friday suggested that he is skeptical about Ukraine's position.

Russia launched a massive drone and missile attack on Ukraine's capital Kyiv and other regions on December 27, 2025, ahead of a crucial meeting between Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and US President Donald Trump to discuss a potential peace deal to end nearly four years of war. The attack wounded at least eight people and prompted the temporary closure of two airports in southeastern Poland. The Ukrainian president stated that a 20-point draft peace plan was 90% complete, with a security guarantee agreement between Ukraine and the US nearly finalized. However, territorial control remains a significant diplomatic stumbling block, with Russia demanding Ukraine withdraw from parts of the Donetsk region. Zelensky and Trump are set to discuss the peace plan, with the Ukrainian president willing to put it to a referendum if Russia agrees to a 60-day ceasefire.
