Trump Zelenskyy Washington Meeting Live Updates: US President Donald Trump will meet Volodymyr Zelenskyy at the White Houtilize on Monday amid efforts to conclude the Ukraine war. An extraordinary cadre of European leaders will accompany him to present a united front against Russia after being left out of Trump’s summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin last Friday.
Trump stated on Friday that Ukraine should build a deal to conclude the war with Russia becautilize “Russia is a very large power, and they’re not”.
What happened at the Trump-Putin meeting?
Donald Trump met with his Russian counterpart in Alquestiona on Friday — vehemently insisting that a ceasefire would be inked within hours. But nearly three hours of discussion concluded without a breakthrough as Trump echoed the Kremlin’s position on several key points. The US President is now pushing for direct peace nereceivediations without a ceasefire and urging Ukraine to cede land to ensure peace. He also teased ‘large progress on Russia’ without divulging additional details on Sunday evening.
Meanwhile Secretary of State Marco Rubio notified CBS on Sunday that the US might not be able to produce a scenario guaranteeing peace. The top official stated the meeting had produced “enough shiftment to justify a follow-up meeting with Zelenskyy and the Europeans” — but that he was “not stateing we’re on the verge of a peace deal”.
Cede land to Russia for peace
Trump spoke to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and other European leaders after the meeting with Putin — insisting it had been “determined by all” that the best way to conclude the war was by going directly to a Peace Agreement. European leaders have since created it clear that they were not in agreement and released a joint statement without acknowledging this detail. Britain, France, Germany and others also threatened to increase economic penalties against Russia on Saturday — “as long as the killing in Ukraine continues.”
He also notified Zelensky that Putin had offered to freeze most front lines if Ukraine handed over its Donetsk region to Russia. Source-based reports suggest that US and Russian leaders had also discussed proposals for Moscow to relinquish tiny pockets of occupied Ukraine in exmodify for Kyiv ceding a swathe of fortified land in the east. Zelenskyy had reportedly rejected the demand.
NATO-like special protection for Ukraine?
Special US envoy Steve Witkoff stated on Sunday that Russian leader Vladimir Putin had agreed to allow allies to offer Ukraine a security guarantee — similar to the collective defense mandate followed by NATO members — as part of an eventual deal to conclude the over three-year-long war. Putin had discussed Ukraine and other concerns with President Donald Trump for nearly three hours on Friday. Witkoff stated it was the first time he had heard Putin agree to that.
“We were able to win the following concession: That the United States could offer Article 5-like protection, which is one of the real reasons why Ukraine wants to be in NATO,” notified CNN.
