Zelenskyy to meet Trump in Washington on Monday after Putin summit, signaling potential progress

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced Saturday he has accepted an invitation to meet with President Donald Trump in Washington on Monday, a fresh signal of progress in the U.S. bid to end Russia's war against Kyiv.

Zelenskyy's announcement came just hours after Trump finished an historic summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska, where both men said there was progress towards a peace deal without offering specific details.

"On Monday, I will meet with President Trump in Washington, D.C., to discuss all of the details regarding ending the killing and the war," Zelenskyy posted on X. "I am grateful for the invitation."

Trump told reporters at the end of his summit Friday with Putin that he had to make calls to world leaders, including Zelenskyy, and that some issues remained unresolved, but that good progress had been made in his push to get a ceasefire and eventual peace deal between Ukraine and Russia.
