US President Donald Trump has stated that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy does not have any proposals or plans for peace talks until he approves them. This statement was made in an interview with POLITICO.

Zelenskyy had previously announced plans to meet with Trump in Florida on Sunday, as part of a potential effort to negotiate a ceasefire and discuss peace talks. However, it appears that the meeting may be contingent upon Trump’s approval of any proposals or plans presented by Zelenskyy.

The Institute for the Study of War has released an assessment report on the Russian offensive campaign, which was published on December 24, 2025. The report provides an analysis of the current situation and potential developments in the conflict.

Axios has reported that Zelenskyy is “ready” to call a referendum on Trump’s plan for peace talks, although the details of this proposal are not yet clear.

It is worth noting that the meeting between Trump and Zelenskyy is still scheduled to take place, despite these developments. The exact nature and outcome of the discussions will depend on various factors, including the proposals presented by both leaders.
