Trump says he has begun arrangements for face-to-face meeting between Putin and Ukraine’s Zelenskyy

Donald Trump announced plans to arrange a meeting between Vladimir Putin and Volodymyr Zelensky to discuss peace after nearly four years of conflict, involving European security guarantees and negotiations.

  • On Monday, U.S. President Donald J. Trump announced he began arranging a meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy following White House talks, with the location to be determined.
  • The move built on Trump’s Friday Alaska meeting and the White House talks with European leaders following a day of multilateral, high-stakes discussions aimed at ending the nearly four-year war.
  • Officials say talks center on NATO-like security guarantees and a framework the U.S. and allies could offer Kyiv, with Vice President J.D. Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Special Envoy Steve Witkoff coordinating follow-up talks.
  • There was no immediate confirmation from Moscow or Kyiv, but Trump said the next stage would be a Trilat including himself and predicted a deal in the coming weeks.
  • Core sticking points include territory and NATO membership, with Kyiv repeatedly rejecting territorial concessions, while Russian state media framed talks as favoring U.S.-Russia contact and downplaying European influence.
