The Ukrainian president and European allies have all arrived in Washington for the meeting with Donald Trump, as the US pushes for a swift peace deal in Russia's all-out war in Ukraine.View on euronew

Ukraine’s Volodymyr Zelensky and European leaders including Sir Keir Starmer will meet Donald Trump in Washington on Monday to map out a peace deal amid fears the US president could try to pressure Kyiv into accepting a settlement favourable to Russia.

President Trump is expected to press Ukraine to make concessions to end the war. President Volodymyr Zelensky will likely ask what, if anything, Russia is offering in return.

The leaders of the UK, France and Germany will accompany Ukraine's president for crunch talks on ending Russia's war against Ukraine.

President Donald Trump ‘s face-to-face high-stakes summit with President Vladimir Putin in Alaska on Friday could determine the fate of European security as well as the trajectory of the war in Ukraine. The exclusion of President Volodymyr Zelenskyy already deals a heavy blow to the West’s policy of “nothing about Ukraine without Ukraine.”

It was not initially clear if Putin would speak to the press with Trump after the meeting, but the White House has since confirmed that both leaders will participate in the briefing.

American officials quickly discovered a major snag in planning for the summit: summertime is peak tourist season in Alaska, and options both available and equipped to host the two world leaders were severely limited.
