Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy confirmed his arrival in Washington, D.C., on Sunday ahead of a meeting with President Donald Trump to discuss an end to the war with Russia.
“I have already arrived in Washington, tomorrow I am meeting with President Trump. Tomorrow we are also speaking with European leaders. I am grateful to @POTUS for the invitation. We all share a strong desire to end this war quickly and reliably. And peace must be lasting,” Zelenskyy wrote, in part, on X on Sunday.
Zelenskyy will be bringing a group of European leaders to the Monday meeting, and Trump said on Truth Social it is a “great honor to host them all.”
