Ukraine and U. S. Leaders Set to Talk Before New Year

Ukraine's leader, Volodymyr Zelenskiy, has hinted that big things could happen before the end of the year. He's set to meet with U. S. President Donald Trump soon. This comes as the U. S. is trying hard to find a peaceful way to end the war with Russia. Zelenskiy thinks that tricky talks, like giving up land, should happen between the top leaders. He's been wanting to meet Trump face-to-face. He shared this news on X, a social media platform, after the latest talks between Ukraine and U. S. negotiators.He had a chat with Trump's special envoy, Steve Witkoff, and Trump's son-in-law, Jared Kushner. Some papers for ending the war and rebuilding Ukraine are almost done. Others are already ready. Earlier, Zelenskiy shared a 20-point plan to end the war. It includes security promises to keep Russia from attacking again. But there's no agreement yet on the land that Russia wants Ukraine to give up. The control of the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant is still being discussed. The U. S. is pushing for a deal before the New Year. But will Zelenskiy and Trump's meeting make a difference? Only time will tell.
