US President Donald Trump welcomes Ukranian President Volodymyr Zelensky at his Mar-a-Lago residence in Palm Beach, Florida, on December 28, 2025. Asked if Putin was committed to peace despite the attacks, Trump said: “He’s very serious.”“I can say that I believe Ukraine has made some very strong attacks also, and I don’t say that negatively. Trump’s advisors have previously floated the idea of offering NATO-like security guarantees to Ukraine, meaning in theory that the alliance’s members would respond militarily if Russia attacks again. At their October meeting, Trump refused Zelensky’s request for long-range Tomahawk missiles as Trump again said that Putin was showing positive signs. Trump and Putin are also set to hold another phone call later Sunday.
