Volodymyr Zelensky and a posse of European leaders are headed to the White House to discuss a possible end to the Russian invasion.

New negotiation, new look. When President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine arrived at the White House on Monday to meet with President Trump, he had swapped the military-style clothing that has been his de facto uniform since the war with Russia began in 2022, for a more statesmanlike ensemble: black field jacket, black shirt and black slacks.

The U.S. has proposed security guarantees for Ukraine similar to — but separate from — those enjoyed by NATO member countries, a diplomatic source told AFP on Saturday. The suggestion was raised during a call U.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy signaled openness to a three-way meeting with Trump and Putin. That assent came after Trump said the three leaders could meet if Monday’s White House meetings go well.
