 "Another Trump-Zelenskyy meeting soon? Ukraine security chief says ‘organising’ visit to US")
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy may travel to the United States within days to work toward a potential agreement with Donald Trump aimed at ending Ukraine’s war with Russia, according to a senior Ukrainian official familiar with the negotiations.
Ukraine’s national security chief Rustem Umerov said preparations were underway to arrange the visit at the “earliest suitable date in November,” following intensive discussions in Geneva where American and Ukrainian delegations “reached a common understanding” on key elements of a possible deal.
He added that Kyiv believed the talks had entered a “decisive stage,” noting that both sides had made “significant progress on security guarantees and post-war reconstruction commitments.”
The comments came after Zelensky on Monday welcomed revisions to Trump’s earlier 28-point peace proposal, describing the latest draft as “a basis for further movement” after meetings between negotiators in the Swiss city.
“We are seeing readiness from our partners to adjust proposals in a way that respects Ukraine’s sovereignty,” he said.
Trump also showed optimism, writing on his Truth Social platform that “something good just may be happening,” suggesting that both governments were edging closer to a diplomatic breakthrough after months of stalled dialogue.
