The leaders of the US and Ukraine discussed possible security guarantees and the path to peace with Russia on Monday
Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelensky hailed Monday’s negotiations with US President Donald Trump as the best meeting they have ever had.
Zelensky met with Trump at the White House, alongside several leaders from Western Europe. The summit came three days after Trump held his first face-to-face meeting since 2019 with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska.
Although no breakthroughs were announced, the parties described the discussions as a positive step toward achieving peace between Ukraine and Russia.
“I would like to thank President Trump for this meeting. It was the best meeting we have had, which is very important,” Zelensky told reporters outside the White House.
Zelensky said he briefed US officials on the battlefield situation, outlining “who really controls each area.”
