Zelenskiy and Trump: A Crucial Meeting Amidst War Talks

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy announced plans to travel to Washington for discussions with U.S. President Donald Trump, after talks with Russia's Vladimir Putin failed to secure a ceasefire or peace plan for Ukraine.

In a recent social media post, Zelenskiy expressed gratitude for Trump's invitation, received through a prolonged phone conversation on Saturday.
