The creation of a "free-trade zone" or a "free economic zone" in Donbas has not yet been resolved. However, Ukraine and the United States are approaching an agreement on this issue. US President Donald Trump stated this at a joint press conference Sunday with Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelenskyy after their talks in Mar-a-Lago, Florida, USA.

In response to the question about Donbas, the US president noted that it has not yet been resolved. However, he assured that all parties are working on this issue. In general, according to Trump, there are literally one or two very difficult issues left to be resolved in the peace agreement between Ukraine and Russia.

One can say that 95 percent of the issues have been resolved, the US president noted, adding, however, that he does not like to give percentages and there are one or two very difficult issues to resolve.
