Negotiations could take place as early as tomorrow
United States President Donald Trump plans to meet with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky during the NATO summit in the Netherlands.
A White House official, speaking on condition of anonymity, told Politico that the meeting could take place on Wednesday, April 25, on the sidelines of a NATO summit. Trump told reporters on his way to The Hague that the meeting was possible, but did not confirm it.
Before the summit, it remained unknown whether Zelensky would attend – there were fears that without a guaranteed personal meeting with Trump, this visit might prove impractical and not worth the time spent.
The publication notes that the Ukrainian president wanted to meet with Trump at the G7 summit, but the American leader left the event early. Their last personal meeting took place in April at the Vatican at the farewell ceremony for Pope Francis.
NATO Summit in The Hague
As you know, the North Atlantic Alliance summit kicked off in the Netherlands today . It will last two days.
The summit will begin with an official dinner hosted by King Willem-Alexander of the Netherlands. The main working meeting will take place the following morning, followed by press conferences.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has only been invited to the evening reception, but will not attend the key working session with Alliance leaders.
The Ukrainian leader has already reported meetings with the King of the Netherlands and French President Emmanuel Macron. They coordinated joint next steps.
The best way to force Putin to accept a peace deal is arming Ukraine to the teeth.
