The announcement of the meeting indicates progress in negotiations on Trump's peace plan for Ukraine, Ravid said.
Earlier on Friday, Zelensky announced on X that he would meet Trump “in the near future” and “many issues may be resolved before the New Year.”

In another entry, the Ukrainian leader noted that although work on arrangements on sensitive issues is still ongoing, “some documents are almost ready, while others are fully prepared.” “But together with the American team, we know how to organize it all. The coming weeks could also be intense. Thank you, America!” – he added.

On Wednesday, the President of Ukraine presented a new, 20-point peace plan proposal developed by the US, which is the result of consultations with the parties to the conflict. It provides for, among others: reaffirming Ukraine's sovereign status, freezing the conflict on current lines of contact, a solid development package for Ukraine, efforts to rebuild the country, accelerating the process of concluding a free trade agreement between Ukraine and the US, and elections in the country as soon as possible after the end of the war.
At the same time, as AFP pointed out, none of the points proposes a solution to the problem of Russian-occupied Ukrainian territories.
Zelensky said that an agreement to end the war in Ukraine would be an agreement between the US, Ukraine, Europe and Russia. He added that Ukraine's accession to NATO remains a decision of the Alliance's member states, but Kiev will not give up this prospect.
