Zelenskiy to travel to Washington on Monday for talks with Trump

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy will travel to Washington on Monday for talks with US President Donald Trump, following Trump’s summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin that failed to produce a ceasefire, Reuters reported.

Zelenskiy said the meeting will focus on steps to end the war and secure lasting peace. He spoke with Trump for more than an hour on Saturday, later joined by European and NATO officials.

The Ukrainian leader has pushed for a trilateral meeting with Trump and Putin, stressing that security guarantees for Kyiv must be part of any deal to prevent future Russian aggression. He noted “positive signals” from Washington on supporting such guarantees, according to Reuters.
