White House Diplomacy: Zelensky, Trump Eye Trilateral Talks with Putin Amid European Push for Peace

                                             Oval Office meeting.

In a high-stakes day of diplomacy, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and U.S. President Donald Trump signaled openness to potential three-way talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin, as a delegation of top European leaders gathered at the White House.

The meeting — which included leaders from the U.K., France, Germany, Italy, Finland, and the European Commission, alongside NATO’s Secretary General — came just days after Trump’s summit with Putin in Alaska. Trump voiced optimism about a “reasonable” chance to end the war, hinting at possible territorial negotiations, while Zelensky emphasized the need for “lasting peace” and robust security guarantees for Ukraine.

European leaders pressed for a united front, warning against concessions that could embolden Moscow. The talks unfolded against the backdrop of fresh Russian strikes on Ukrainian cities, underscoring the urgency of the discussions.

While no concrete agreement emerged, both Trump and Zelensky left the door open for a trilateral meeting with Putin — a move that could reshape the trajectory of the three-and-a-half-year conflict.
