Trump and Zelensky to meet in Washington as diplomatic options emerge
U.S. President Donald Trump will host Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Tuesday to discuss ceasefire options following a deadly Russian attack near Kyiv.
U.S. President Donald Trump is scheduled to meet Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky at the White House on Tuesday to discuss potential diplomatic frameworks, including a proposed aerial ceasefire to offer Russia. The upcoming summit follows a Russian missile strike on a defense industry exhibition in the Kyiv region, which left 10 people dead and nearly 100 injured—an event Zelensky conceded should not have taken place.
The diplomatic effort coincides with wider regional security incidents. Romanian forces intercepted an unidentified drone over NATO airspace, while air defenses in Jordan, Kuwait, and Bahrain downed Iranian missiles and drones targeting U.S. allies in the Middle East.
