Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Friday that he is prepared to reach a framework peace deal with Russia when he meets with President Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago this weekend, which he hopes to bring up for a referendum in Ukraine.Sunday’s meeting between the two world leaders comes after Zelensky indicated a willingness to remove troops from an area in Donetsk, as long as Russia would as well, and create a “free economic zone.”
Zelensky told Axios that he’s willing to bring the possible peace plan up for a referendum if Russia agrees to a ceasefire of at least 60 days, stating that 60 days is the “minimum” he would need for his legislature to approve the proposal.
Trump appeared optimistic that both sides would agree to the peace deal, telling the New York Post Friday that he believes the three countries have a “good shot” at securing the deal with Ukraine on Sunday.
