Trump claims final say on Ukraine-Russia peace, ahead of Zelenskyy’s Florida meeting with proposed 20-point plan.

U.S. President Donald Trump stated he holds final authority over any peace agreement between Ukraine and Russia, telling Politico that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy "doesn’t have anything until I approve it." The remarks precede a high-stakes meeting in Florida, where Zelenskyy is expected to present a 20-point peace plan, nearly 90% complete, including proposals for a demilitarized zone in Donbas and U.S. security guarantees. Trump emphasized his central role in shaping the outcome, expressing skepticism but expecting productive talks, while also signaling potential future discussions with Russian President Vladimir Putin. No details on specific terms or timelines were released, and the U.S. government has not officially confirmed the meeting.
