President Voldimir Zelnsky and Donald Trump held a meeting at the White House on Monday, which was far from the screaming competition that erupted in February.
The Ukrainian president joined the senior European leaders to meet Trump, which was held days after the US President Vladimir Putin held a prominent meeting.
And despite the positive voices that came from world leaders since Monday’s summit, there are little details about Washington on US security guarantees, which is very important for the future peace agreement.
Here are the most important things from the White House Monday.
A Zelansky-Putin session may be the next step
It seems that we have been seeing Zelnski for the first time since the full attack in February 2022.
Trump had earlier announced that he had arranged a time and place for the meeting and had called Putin to discuss the matter. A bilateral meeting between Putin and Zelnsky will take place a trilateral meeting for the US President, Trump said.
“We’re ready for one -way,” Zelksky said on Monday. He has been looking for such a meeting for months, but Moscow has repeatedly rejected the idea. Whether Trump has successfully convinced Putin to participate is unclear.
Trump pledges to specify US security guarantees
Preventing Russia’s future aggression against Ukraine has been the main focus of the bag in its international diplomatic efforts.
While Trump has repeatedly denied joining Ukraine to NATO, his envoy Steve Witcov said Putin had agreed to allow NATO to support Ukraine after Friday’s meeting. Moscow has not commented on this.
On Monday, Trump expressed vague support for security guarantees. “European countries” want to protect it and they feel a lot about it and we will help them, “he said.
Trump has said that Putin was open to accepting security guarantees, given that Europeans are seeking a force that could go through any peace agreement in Ukraine.
The French president Emmanuel Macron said negotiations to determine what the United States wants to provide will begin as soon as Tuesday.
European leaders praise Trump – but push the temporary ceasefire
European leaders attending the White House summit were all careful to disperse Trump’s praise before, and after the meeting.
But they increased their desire for the temporary ceasefire to pursue complete peace talks-what Trump initially supported, but seems to have been prioritized in favor of a long-term peace program by Putin.
“If we do it well, we can end it,” said Mark Ruth, NATO Secretary -General Mark Ruth.
The British prime minister, Kier Steam, said after the meeting that there was “real progress” and “real feeling of unity”.
German Chancellor Friedrich Merse said, “The route is open now” to stop the war, but the next stages are “more complex”. “Let’s try to put pressure on Russia,” he said.
“If we could do the ceasefire, great, but then he said that this is not far from a trader,” Trump said.
Good feelings spread to Mr. Zelnsky and Trump. The President of the United States “Excellent statements. I appreciated it after the Ukrainian leader praised Trump.”
Formal clothing and reception of war for Zelensky
Zelnsky appeared in a more formal dress than his February visit – when his clothing was offered to Trump and Vice President JD VANCE.
“You looked legendary,” Trump said after a conservative reporter, who criticized Zelnski in February.
Zelksky also repeatedly thanked Melania Trump for his support and a letter to Putin who asked him to stop killing children during the war.
The Ukrainian President presented a letter from his wife, Olena Zelnska to Melania, during a warm, oval office full of smiles with Trump.
