Donald Trump and Volodymyr Zelensky said progress had been made to end the Ukraine war during talks but the US leader added "one or two very thorny issues" remained.
While both the US and Ukrainian presidents described the Florida talks as "great", Trump reiterated that a key sticking point was the question of territory. Russia has previously demanded that Ukraine hand over more land.
Addressing reporters at Mar-a-Lago, Zelensky said they had come to an agreement on "90%" of a 20-point peace plan, while Trump said a security guarantee for Ukraine was "close to 95%" done.
Zelensky later said US and Ukrainian teams would meet next week for further talks on issues aimed at ending Russia’s nearly four-year war in Ukraine.
