Good progress was made on security for Ukraine. However, solving the Donbas problem is still hard. This difficult issue makes a full peace agreement unlikely. The secret meetings were on a Sunday. They wanted to find a way to stop the fighting.

President Trump was very hopeful. He said talks were almost finished. He said security agreements were "95% done." This made many people around the world feel hopeful. These security promises will likely include strong support. The United States and European allies will help.

A meeting called the "Coalition of the Willing" will happen soon. It will be in Paris in January. This meeting will make agreements real. Nations will decide how to help Ukraine.

However, the Donbas region is still a big problem. The conflict there is hard to end. Some people think a special economic area could work. This area might have more freedom. It could also help the economy. But, many details need to be discussed. All sides must agree to this plan.

The talks between the presidents are very important. The progress on security is good news. It shows a better future for Ukraine. However, lasting peace depends on solving the Donbas issue. President Trump wants answers soon. The next few months will show if hope can bring peace. A bigger group of countries will work together for peace in Ukraine.
