F ollowing what was described as a “lengthy” phone call with President Donald Trump, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced that he will travel to Washington on Monday to meet with President Donald Trump. A White House official said Trump has invited European leaders to join the meeting on Monday afternoon.

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

According to the German government, the discussions will cover the state of peace efforts, security guarantees, territorial questions, continued support for Ukraine, and maintaining sanctions pressure.

President Donald Trump supports Russian leader Vladimir Putin's proposal for Moscow to take full control of the Donbas and freeze the front lines elsewhere for a deal with Ukraine.

Leaders from Britain, France, Germany, Italy and Finland are rallying around the Ukrainian president after his exclusion from Trump’s summit on Friday with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Russian President Vladimir Putin says he and President Donald Trump have reached an “understanding” on Ukraine and warned Europe not to “torpedo the nascent progress.”

European leaders in a "coalition of the willing" are meeting to project unity in response to Putin’s demands at his summit with Trump ahead of Zelenskyy’s Washington visit.

The highly anticipated summit ended without a breakthrough. Afterwards, Trump said Ukraine and Russia should proceed straight to seeking a full peace deal instead of a cease-fire.
