Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy confirms Washington, D.C. arrival ahead of meeting with President Trump and European leaders to force Russia into peace agreement.

President Trump hosted Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and European leaders at the White House on Monday, an event the U.S. president called "a very good, early step" to possibly resolve the war in Ukraine.

European leaders will join Ukraine's Zelenskyy for a meeting in Washington days after Donald Trump's summit with Russia's Putin in Alaska.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy gushed with gratitude toward President Donald Trump during an Oval Office meeting.

President Trump will meet Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in Washington on Monday — a meeting that could play out differently than their last one in the nation’s capital back in February.

European leaders, including those from Britain, Germany, France and France, will accompany Volodymyr Zelenskyy to meet Donald Trump in Washington, they said on Sunday, seeking to bolster him as the US president presses Ukraine to accept a quick peace.

Trump and Zelenskyy expressed hope of soon holding three-way talks among the U.S., Russian and Ukrainian leaders.

The European political heavyweights expected in Washington are Macron, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, Italian Premier Giorgia Meloni, Finnish President Alexander Stubb, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, and NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte.
