Volodymyr Zelenskyy is set to meet Donald Trump in Washington following Trump's summit with Vladimir Putin, which concluded without a peace agreement for Ukraine. Trump stated that the best approach to end the war is through a Peace Agreement instead of a temporary Ceasefire. Zelenskyy expressed appreciation for the meeting invitation and their intention to thoroughly discuss measures to halt the conflict. The meeting will be Zelenskyy's first since a previous encounter in February, where tensions arose. Trump hinted at potential future talks with Putin if negotiations go well.
Trump declared on his social media site that Friday's meeting in Alaska "went very well." After the summit and calls early Saturday with Zelenskyy and European leaders, he wrote: "It was determined by all that the best way to end the horrific war between Russia and Ukraine is to go directly to a Peace Agreement, which would end the war, and not a mere Ceasefire Agreement, which often times do not hold up."
Zelenskyy said he held a "long and substantive" conversation with Trump. He thanked Trump for an invitation to meet in person in Washington on Monday and said they would "discuss all of the details regarding ending the killing and the war."
