Following initial talks on Sunday, European leaders at the Berlin summit—including Sweden's Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson—agreed on December 15 on a multinational force with US support to secure Ukraine's rebuilding and defense. Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and US envoy Steve Witkoff participated, clarifying security guarantees amid ongoing concerns over territories and Russia's stance.
After their December 28 Mar-a-Lago meeting—where President-elect Donald Trump announced 90% agreement on a peace framework—Trump and Ukraine's Volodymyr Zelensky underscored remaining obstacles like territorial concessions, security guarantees, the Zaporiyia nuclear plant, and NATO expansion. Trump predicted clarity on success within weeks, while Zelensky demanded long-term anti-Russia protections.
