Former U.S. President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky are expected to meet in Washington next week to discuss a possible air ceasefire plan tied to the Russia-Ukraine conflict. The planned talks put renewed attention on whether a narrower truce in the air could be considered as part of broader efforts to reduce fighting.
Based on the available report, the discussion is centered on a new proposal rather than a full settlement of the war. An air ceasefire would likely be viewed as a more limited step, focusing on aerial attacks instead of an immediate end to all combat operations.
The description of the report also referenced a 36% “yes” reading for a ceasefire by December 31, 2026. While that suggests uncertainty around the chances of a deal within that timeframe, no further details were provided about how that figure was calculated.
The Washington meeting is likely to draw close attention because any shift toward an air ceasefire could affect both military risk and diplomatic momentum. For now, the main development is that Trump and Zelensky are set to discuss whether such a plan could become part of the next phase of talks around the war.
