US EditionEuropean leaders to join Zelenskyy at White House meeting with Trump
- On Monday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is scheduled to meet with U.S. President Donald Trump at the White House to talk about peace efforts following Trump's recent meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin earlier in the week in Alaska.
- This meeting follows a month-long debate over pursuing a direct peace agreement rather than a ceasefire, a shift agreed upon between Trump and Putin but contested by Ukraine and its European allies who insist on security guarantees first.
- Trump and Putin met for nearly three hours in Alaska, where they discussed land transfers and security guarantees, calling the talks extremely productive though no ceasefire or peace deal was signed; Putin expects this to set a framework for resolving the conflict.
- Trump asserted on social media that the most effective way to conclude the devastating conflict is to move straight to a comprehensive peace deal rather than settling for a temporary ceasefire, which often fails. Meanwhile, Zelenskyy showed openness to holding a trilateral meeting involving the U.S. and Russia.
- The upcoming discussions could shape the future of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, with European leaders insisting on ironclad security guarantees and cautioning that decisions without Ukraine's or Europe's input might undermine regional stability.
