President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky announced plans to meet on Monday to hammer out “all of the details” about how to end the Russia-Ukraine war.

The meeting in Washington, D.C., marks the next stage of reaching a ceasefire or a more sweeping and final peace deal , which the White House now hopes could be implemented. It is set to come three days after Trump held an Alaska summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin seeking to help negotiate an end to the war that ended with “no deal,” although the White House described the friendly encounter as “very productive.” They had already said any deal would have to be agreed to by Zelensky and Putin so no agreement was expected to be struck on Friday.
