Zelenskyy to meet Trump on Monday
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy will meet Donald Trump in Washington on Monday, days after Trump’s much-publicized summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska failed to secure a ceasefire or peace agreement in the ongoing war.
Zelenskyy confirmed his visit to the United States following what he described as a “long and meaningful” phone call with Trump today. The call came shortly after Trump returned from Alaska, where he spent nearly three hours in closed-door discussions with Putin.
According to the White House, Trump held a series of phone conversations with Zelenskyy and top European leaders during his flight back from Alaska.
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte, French President Emmanuel Macron, as well as leaders of Germany, Britain, Italy, Poland, and Finland joined the discussion.
The call lasted over 90 minutes, Axios reported, with Trump briefing allies on the outcome of the summit. While Trump and Putin both described the talks as “productive,” no agreement on halting the war was reached.
