Progress but No Resolution on Territorial Issues in Trump-Zelensky Meeting

US President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky concluded talks in Mar-a-Lago, showing progress towards a peace agreement for Ukraine. However, the territorial issue remains unresolved and constitutes one of the major obstacles. Zelensky stated that an agreement has been reached on 90% of a peace framework, while Trump said security guarantees are close to 95%. The most contentious point remains the fate of the Donbas region, with the proposal for a demilitarized zone not yet agreed upon. Trump suggested that the situation on the ground could change depending on the development of military operations.
