Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and his United States counterpart, Donald Trump, will meet in Florida on Sunday to hammer out a plan to end the war in Ukraine.
Russia struck Kyiv and other parts of war-torn Ukraine with hundreds of missiles and drones on Saturday, knocking out power and heat in parts of the capital.
Zelensky called it Russia’s response to the ongoing U.S.-brokered peace efforts.
Zelensky has told journalists that he plans to discuss the fate of eastern Ukraine’s contested Donbas region during the meeting at Trump’s Florida residence, as well as the future of the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant and other topics.

Ukraine’s Deputy Foreign Minister Serhiy Kyslytsya disclosed that president and his delegation arrived in Florida late on Saturday.
“Good evening, Florida!” Kyslytsya wrote on X, accompanying the post with a photo of an aircraft bearing the U.S. president’s surname on the fuselage.
Moscow has repeatedly insisted that Ukraine yield all of the Donbas, even areas still under Kyiv’s control, and Russian officials have objected to other parts of the latest proposal, sparking doubts about whether Russian President Vladimir Putin would accept whatever Sunday’s talks might produce.
Zelensky said on Friday he still hopes to soften a U.S. proposal for Ukrainian forces to withdraw completely from the Donbas, according to Reuters.
Failing that, Zelensky said the entire 20-point plan, the result of weeks of negotiations, should be put to a referendum vote.
