Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is all set to visit the United States to meet US President Donald Trump to further discuss the war in Ukraine. This comes after Trump met with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Friday in Alaska. Zelensky will be accompanied by several European leaders to hold a meeting with Trump on Monday (August 18).
The US described the Trump-Putin Alaska meeting as showing “great progress” but admitted no breakthrough was reached to end the war in Ukraine.

Later, Zelensky confirmed that he would travel to the US on Monday “to discuss all of the details regarding ending the killing and the war.”
