Dec. 28 (UPI) — Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky<\/a> on Sunday arrived at Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, Florida, to meet with U.S. President Donald Trump<\/a> about a proposal for a cease-fire and end to Russia’s war in Ukraine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Zelensky and his entourage arrived Sunday to discuss a 20-point plan — that may include conceding territory and shared operation of a nuclear power plant — to potentially end the war that started more than three years ago with Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ahead of the meeting, Trump spoke with Russian President Vladimir Putin by phone for more than an hour, during which reportedly agreed that a long-term peace deal is preferable to a cease-fire, with Putin calling for Zelensky to make a “courageous, responsible political decision,” The New York Times reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Zelensky arrives for the meeting as Russia has amped up its attacks on Kyiv and other parts of Ukraine in recent days<\/a>, which some have called a tactic on Russia’s part to force the Ukrainians hand in making a peace deal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n “Given the situation on the front lines, Kyiv must not delay making that decision,” Yuri Ushakov, one of Putin’s foreign policy aides, said during a press briefing on Sunday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Trump told reporters when he welcomed Zelensky to Mar-a-Lago that he believes “we have the makings of a deal,” and that both Putin and Zelensky are both serious about making a peace deal, CNN reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Zelensky, Trump and representatives from both of their administrations are negotiating the 20-point peace plan that Zelensky reworked from a U.S.-proposed 28-point plan earlier this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Plans have also been drawn up for a three-party security guarantee between Ukraine, the U.S. and Europe, as well as a bilateral deal with the United States, in addition to economic cooperation to rebuild Ukraine, which has been brutally battered by Russia for the last three years, the Kyiv Independent reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n According to the BBC<\/a>, Putin and Trump are likely to speak later on Sunday after the meeting at Mar-a-Lago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
