SUMMARY: Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and U.S. President Donald Trump met with European leaders at the White House to discuss potential three-party peace talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin to end the war in Ukraine. Trump expressed support for NATO-like security guarantees for Ukraine but stopped short of committing U.S. troops. Zelenskyy showed openness to talks, emphasizing the need for lasting peace and a strong Ukrainian army. European leaders seek durable security assurances and pressure on Russia to cease fighting. Discussions followed Trump’s recent meeting with Putin, who reportedly demands control of the entire Donbas, a condition Zelenskyy rejects as unconstitutional.
