Zelenskyy arrives in Washington, DC for Trump meeting, urges lasting peace with Russia
Monday, 18 August 2025 () Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy confirms Washington, D.C. arrival ahead of meeting with President Trump and European leaders to force Russia into peace agreement.
US President Donald Trump has delivered a blunt message to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky ahead of their White House meeting. Trump declared that Ukraine must abandon its NATO ambitions and accept the loss of Crimea if it truly wants peace with Russia. The ultimatum comes just days after...
A historic confrontation is unfolding in Washington as President Donald Trump meets Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky at the White House, joined by key European leaders including Macron, Merz, Meloni, Starmer, von der Leyen, Stubb, and NATO’s Mark Rutte. This comes after Trump’s Alaska summit with Putin, where he backed a plan for Ukraine to cede Crimea and parts of Donbas, abandon NATO, and accept neutrality. Europe and Kyiv fiercely reject this “surrender deal,” warning it rewards Russian aggression and threatens NATO itself. Trump’s transactional “America First” diplomacy—focused on quick wins and cutting U.S. military spending—clashes directly with Europe’s push for long-term security and continued military aid. As Russia intensifies strikes, Europe views concessions as catastrophic. Tensions inside the White House are boiling: will this meeting end in compromise, or spark a full-scale rift between America and Europe that could reshape global order?

Volodymyr Zelensky is set to meet Donald Trump in Washington on Monday, but this time he won’t face him alone. At Zelensky’s request, top European leaders—including Ursula von der Leyen, Keir Starmer, Emmanuel Macron, Giorgia Meloni, Friedrich Merz, and NATO’s Mark Rutte—will join to shield him from another Oval Office humiliation. February’s chaotic meeting, where Trump and JD Vance mocked Zelensky, left deep scars. Now, Europe’s united front aims to counter Trump’s confrontational style and prevent a repeat embarrassment for Ukraine.

Russian strikes have killed 8 people and injured 35 across Ukraine just as President Zelensky arrived in Washington, D.C., for a high-stakes meeting with President Trump. Moscow continues to reject calls for an unconditional ceasefire, intensifying its use of drones and missiles. Cities near the Russian border, as well as the Sumy region, were hit, leaving civilians trapped under rubble and hospitals overwhelmed. The attacks come as Zelensky and European allies push for peace, while Russia demands territorial concessions, raising tensions ahead of the crucial summit.

Ukraine could soon receive NATO-like security guarantees as Zelensky visits Washington with top EU leaders. U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff claims Russia has for the first time conceded to allowing America to provide “Article 5-style protections” to Ukraine—a breakthrough in negotiations. The proposed deal would shield Ukraine militarily without full NATO membership, avoiding Russia’s objections. While Zelensky calls the guarantees historic, disputes remain over territory. EU leaders back the plan, warning against any peace deal that forces Ukraine to cede land.
