Zelensky said so after holding a call with Trump, during which the US President informed him about the “main points” of his talks with Russia’s Putin in Alaska.
Volodymyr Zelensky will head to Washington on Monday to discuss “ending the killing and the war” with US President Donald Trump, the Ukrainian President announced on Saturday.
Volodymyr Zelensky made the announcement after holding a telephonic conversation with Donald Trump, during which the US President informed him about the “main points” of his talks with Russia’s Vladimir Putin in Alaska on Friday.
“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,” Zelensky posted on X, adding that “I am grateful for the invitation.”
According to Zelensky, he had a “long and substantive conversation with Trump” that began as a one-on-one talk before European leaders joined him.
The Washington meeting is set to take place three days after Trump’s talks with Putin in Alaska ended with no ceasefire announcement or apparent breakthrough to end Moscow’s more than three-year-long invasion.
