Summit Sparks Hope: “Zelenskyy Meets Trump and European Leaders in Washington, Paving Way for Ukraine-Russia Peace Talks”

At a high-profile summit in Washington, U.S. President Donald Trump hosted Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy alongside key European figures to lay groundwork for peace in the Russia–Ukraine war. British Prime Minister Keir Starmer praised the discussions as “good and constructive.” Attendees agreed on forming a “coalition of the willing” to provide security assurances to Ukraine and discussed the possibility of direct talks between Zelenskyy and Putin. Although no ceasefire was confirmed, the U.S. signaled potential military support, contingent on security terms, with no firm troop commitments yet. Ukraine pledged to purchase $100 billion in U.S. arms—with European backing—as part of a broader settlement.

Meanwhile, President Trump confirmed he is facilitating a direct Zelenskyy–Putin meeting, though details remain unspecified.
