Zelensky, together with European and NATO leaders, will meet with Trump. The US president says the war could end "almost immediately" if Ukraine rejects Crimea and NATO.
Donald Trump and Volodimir Zelenskiwill meetthis Mondayat the White House in a potentially landmark meeting for Ukraine . The meeting will take place at 7 p.m. in the Basque Country and will take place almost the day afterthe Alaska summit between Trump and Vladimir Putin.
In the lastfew days , Trump has publicly defended the need for a direct treaty between Moscow and Kiev and conveyed to Zelensky and several European leaders the Kremlin's proposals, including Russia's demands for the Donetsk andLugansk regions as a prerequisite for ending the war.
The next stepwould be to hold a trialogue with Putin.
For Moscow, in addition to the surrender of Donetsk and Lugansk, the future status of other regions such as Jerson and Zaporiyia, as well as Crimea, along with other petitions relating to Russian and Western sanctions, is in negotiation.
Kiev, on the other hand, hasonceagain refused to grant any territory and continues to demand strong security guarantees, in addition to the sovereign right to jointheEuropean Union eta .
Zelenski has been in contact with members of Europe and the Baltic over the weekend, andwiththe support of several EU governments will arrive in Washington under the slogan that peace cannot be achieved on account of unilateral concessions. However, some leaders, such as German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, have acknowledged that a rapid and stable agreement can be worth more than a fragile truce.
European leaders will include French President Emmanuel Macron, Merz himself, Italian Prime Minister Georgia Meloni, and Finnish President Alexander Stubb.
