Both leaders are in Washington to attend the funeral of Senator Lindsey Graham, a staunch supporter of Ukraine and Israel, who passed away earlier this month. The meeting is scheduled for 09:30 ET (14:30 BST), and it is expected to address critical issues, including the territorial disputes and the status of the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, which remains under Russian control.
The discussions come at a time when both leaders had previously indicated that a deal was close, but significant hurdles remain, particularly regarding the extent of territory Ukraine might concede to Russia. The ongoing conflict has drawn international attention, and the outcome of today's meeting could have implications for future diplomatic efforts.
As the world watches, the meeting between Zelenskyy and Trump may set the stage for a renewed dialogue aimed at resolving the ongoing crisis in Ukraine, reflecting the urgent need for peace in the region.
