NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte said the White House meeting between U.S. President Donald Trump, Ukraine’s Volodymyr Zelensky, and European leaders was “very successful,” focusing on security guarantees for Kyiv but not ground troop deployment. Trump revealed he is working to arrange a meeting between Zelensky and Russian President Vladimir Putin after speaking with Putin by phone during the talks. Leaders from the EU, UK, France, Italy, Germany, and Finland joined the discussions aimed at ending the nearly four-year war.
