Zelenskyy arrives at White House for talks with Trump and EU leaders

  • On Monday, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, the leader of Ukraine, visited the White House for quickly arranged discussions with U.S. President Donald Trump along with prominent European officials.
  • The meeting came shortly after Trump’s discussions with Russian President Vladimir Putin earlier that week and took place amid continuing Russian missile and drone assaults, including a fatal attack on Kharkiv late Sunday.
  • Discussions focused on seeking a sustainable peace with possible NATO-like security guarantees for Ukraine while confronting Putin's maximalist demand that Ukraine cede the Donetsk region.
  • On Sunday night, Trump wrote that Zelenskyy can end the war almost immediately if he chooses, but warned the media would criticize him even if Russia surrendered, stating, "We give up, we concede, we surrender."
  • Officials indicated that Monday's meeting would be particularly challenging for Zelenskyy, who is determined to avoid being held responsible for hindering peace negotiations by turning down Russia's unconstitutional demands, while European leaders stressed the importance of protecting Ukraine and striving for a durable peace.
