Trump: European Leaders to Visit US to Discuss Ukraine
US President Donald Trump said European leaders will visit the United States on Monday and Tuesday to discuss resolving the Russia-Ukraine war. He said he was "not happy" with the current situation but remained optimistic the conflict would end soon and planned to speak with Russian President Vladimir Putin soon.
The statement came after the largest Russian airstrike since the war struck Ukraine early Sunday, setting fire to a key government building in Kyiv and killing several civilians. This escalation adds urgency to Trump's so-called diplomatic efforts.
Trump did not ask which European leaders would be attending, and the White House has not provided additional details. He previously stated he was ready to proceed with "phase two" sanctions against Russia related to the war in Ukraine.
The focus ahead: who will be in the European delegation, whether there is a roadmap for a ceasefire, and how sanctions or security support options are presented at the meeting—factors that will determine the chances of a de-escalation in the near future. (ayu)
