European leaders will accompany Zelensky at the meeting with Trump: details of the negotiations

European leaders are preparing to support Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky at the meeting with the head of the White House, Donald Trump, which will take place in Washington on August 18. It is known that NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte, Finnish President Alexander Stubb, President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, and the Chancellor of Germany may attend the negotiations.

It was noted that earlier Trump proposed to hold a trilateral summit on August 22 with Russian President Vladimir Putin, but Moscow has not yet confirmed its readiness for such negotiations. Zelensky emphasizes that Russia continues shelling and does not adhere to the ceasefire regime, while Trump expresses a desire to achieve a comprehensive peace agreement between Kyiv and Moscow.

Zelensky's meeting with Trump and the possible trilateral summit are becoming important events for the situation in Eastern Ukraine and the region as a whole, where efforts are being made to find ways to peacefully resolve the conflict between Ukraine and Russia.
