U.S. President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy are scheduled to meet in Washington next week, the White House confirmed, as both leaders seek to advance diplomatic efforts aimed at ending the war in Ukraine.

The meeting comes amid renewed discussions over possible peace proposals and follows recent comments from the Kremlin indicating that Russia is prepared to review new initiatives from the Trump administration. While no detailed agenda has been released, officials say the talks will focus on the ongoing conflict, U.S. support for Ukraine, security cooperation, and potential pathways toward a negotiated settlement.

The visit is expected to provide Zelenskiy with an opportunity to discuss Ukraine’s military and humanitarian needs, while also seeking continued political backing from Washington. Trump has repeatedly stated that his administration is pursuing a diplomatic solution to the conflict and has been engaging with both Kyiv and Moscow in an effort to bring the war to an end.

The White House said additional details about the meeting, including its schedule and expected outcomes, will be released in the coming days. Analysts believe the talks could play a significant role in shaping the next phase of U.S. policy toward Ukraine and future peace negotiations with Russia.

The meeting will be closely watched by European allies and international partners, who view continued U.S. engagement as critical to efforts aimed at achieving a lasting and sustainable peace in the region.
