Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy will meet U.S. President Donald Trump in Washington on Monday, days after Trump’s summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska ended without a ceasefire deal.
Donald Trump announced the White House meeting in a Truth Social post on Saturday, saying leaders agreed that a peace agreement, not a temporary ceasefire, was the only way to end the fighting in Ukraine.
“President Zelenskyy will be coming to D.C., the Oval Office, on Monday afternoon. If all works out, we will then schedule a meeting with President Putin,” Trump wrote.
Zelenskyy confirmed the meeting on social platform X, noting that Trump had briefed him on his talks with the Russian leader. “On Monday, I will meet with President Trump in Washington, D.C., to discuss all of the details regarding ending the killing and the war. I am grateful for the invitation,” the Ukrainian leader said.
The Alaska summit on Friday was the first face-to-face meeting between Trump and Putin since his first term in office. Trump described it as showing progress but offered few details, saying no agreement on a ceasefire was reached. He indicated that Ukraine must be included in any final discussions on territory and security guarantees.
This will be Zelenskyy’s first visit to Washington since a tense Oval Office exchange earlier this year, when Trump and Vice President J.D. Vance criticised him for what they saw as a lack of appreciation for U.S. aid.
Trump has recently signalled stronger frustration with Russia’s continuing strikes on Ukrainian cities and warned of “severe consequences” if no deal is achieved. Yet on Friday, he also described his ties with Putin as a “fantastic relationship.”
