I’ll get it done,” the US president says ahead of peace talks with Ukraine’s president at 13:00 EST (18:00 BST).

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is in Washington to meet with US President Donald Trump for talks aimed at ending the war with Russia. This comes on the heels of Trump’s meeting on Friday with Russian President Vladimir Putin who insists on Ukraine giving up territory as part of a deal.

President Donald Trump is holding hastily arranged talks Monday with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and a host of European leaders — a rarity at the White House — as he seeks to negotiate an end to Russia’s war in Ukraine.

European leaders are to join the Ukrainian president during a visit that seeks a path to ending the war between Ukraine and Russia.

Zelensky said "Russia must end this war" — a contrast to earlier remarks by Trump, in which the president said Zelenskyy can end it "if he wants to."

Secretary of State Marco Rubio denied that European leaders are in the U.S. to back up Zelensky from being railroaded into a deal.

President Donald Trump and others mocked Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in March when he showed up at the White House in his customary military-style fatigues. Zelensky apparently got the message.
