US President Donald Trump is set to meet Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in Washington on Monday, following a summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin that ended without an agreement to halt the ongoing war in Ukraine. Trump shifted his stance after talks with Putin, emphasizing the need for a comprehensive peace agreement rather than a temporary ceasefire, aligning with Moscow's approach to the conflict. Zelensky, who was not present at the summit, welcomed the invitation and stressed the importance of involving European leaders in securing Ukraine's future. European leaders expressed readiness to support a trilateral summit and called for strong security guarantees for Ukraine, while highlighting Russia's continued military aggression. Despite diplomatic efforts, Russian attacks on Ukraine persisted, and Putin left the summit without making commitments to end the war.
