Zelensky and European Leaders Urge Trump to Back Ukraine as US Mulls Russia's Territorial Proposals

The meeting aims to address peace terms, security guarantees, and Ukraine's NATO membership amid ongoing conflict, with European leaders showing unified support for Ukraine's sovereignty.

  • On Monday, President Donald Trump welcomed Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy along with several prominent European officials to the White House to talk about security assurances from the U.S. and the possibility of territorial concessions for Ukraine.
  • This meeting took place shortly after last Friday's high-stakes summit between Trump and Russia's leader Vladimir Putin, which concluded suddenly without any agreement.
  • Zelenskyy condemned ongoing Russian attacks across Kharkiv, Zaporizhzhia, Sumy, and Odesa, stating Russians are deliberately killing civilians, especially children, and called for Russia to end the war it started in 2022.
  • European leaders emphasized that territorial concessions rest solely with Ukraine, pledged not to leave Zelenskyy alone, and stressed Ukraine must receive strong security guarantees for lasting peace, reflecting NATO's Article 5 principle.
  • The summit underscored growing international focus on Ukraine's sovereignty amid continued Russian aggression, while uncertainty remains about potential concessions and the path to durable peace.
