Zelensky ready to meet Trump over Thanksgiving to finalize deal, top aide tells Axios

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky wants to meet President Trump "as soon as possible" — possibly over Thanksgiving — to finalize a joint U.S.-Ukrainian agreement on the terms for ending the war, Zelensky's chief of staff Andriy Yermak told Axios.

Why it matters: U.S. and Ukrainian officials have agreed in principle on most aspects of the plan, which has been modified heavily from the initial 28-point U.S. proposal. But Zelensky wants to negotiate on the matter of territorial concessions with Trump himself, Yermak said.
