Zelensky Returns to Site of Stunning Oval Office Shouting Match

Zelensky and European leaders seek US security guarantees and coordinated peace talks amid ongoing conflict with Russia, with Trump showing increased openness to supporting Ukraine, officials said.

  • On Monday, Zelensky returns to the Oval Office with European leaders including UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, French President Emmanuel Macron, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte, and EU Chief Ursula von der Leyen to coordinate peace efforts, following a tense Trump-Zelensky encounter.
  • Six months ago, Zelensky faced humiliation in a televised grilling, but lessons from a Vatican tete-a-tete have influenced both Zelensky and Trump before their next White House encounter.
  • The Trump administration says it is now open to providing Ukraine security guarantees, a shift praised Sunday by Ukrainian and European leaders during Europe’s holiday season.
  • Zelensky has signaled a willingness to discuss broader security guarantees but ruled out land concessions, insisting that sacrificing land would violate Ukraine’s constitution.
  • On Friday, Trump met with Putin in Alaska, promising to run proposals by Ukraine and European allies, then temporarily cut aid, heightening European fears.
