President Trump met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and European leaders in the quest for a path to end the war with Russia.

Zelensky says he's ready for Putin talks as Europe welcomes Trump's security guarantees

Ukraine and its European allies are seeking to persuade President Trump that a cease-fire is a prerequisite for peace talks with Russia.

Rajinikanth's 'Coolie' crosses Rs 200 crore on Monday, while Hrithik Roshan, Jr NTR's 'WAR 2' sees a huge drop Korean woman runs into trouble in Turkey for showing peace sign: ‘As a Turkish, I never heard that sign is banned’

It was a striking contrast to the meeting six months ago, when Trump, red-faced and angry, accused an agitated Zelensky of failing to show enough gratitude to the United States. The blowup was so heated that the Ukrainian delegation was sent from the White House without being allowed to eat their waiting lunch.

European leaders, as well as the Nato chief, joining Zelensky for talks with Trump in Washington makes it an extraordinarily high-level meeting. This reveals how high their concern is that the US president will help Vladimir Putin defeat Ukraine by backing his demands - such as no ceasefire before final settlement.

As Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky arrived at the White House on Monday, President Trump gestured to his all-black suit. “Best I have,” Zelensky said, according to a video posted on social media by a White House staffer.
