President Donald Trump made some false claims to the press while meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky at the White House on Monday – including a long-debunked claim that the US has given Ukraine more than $300 billion in wartime aid.
It is quite possible that Monday's meeting in the White House could prove even more crucial to the future of Ukraine - and for all of Europe's security - than last Friday's US-Russia summit in Alaska. On the surface, that Putin-Trump reunion seemed to live down to every expectation.
Ukraine’s Volodymyr Zelensky and European leaders including Sir Keir Starmer will meet Donald Trump in Washington on Monday to map out a peace deal amid fears the US president could try to pressure Kyiv into accepting a settlement favourable to Russia.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is returning to the White House, where he will be briefed on President Trump’s Alaska summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Ukrainian officials announced 13 people died and several more were injured in Russian attacks launched before world leaders meet at the White House on Monday.
Sir Keir Starmer commends President Trump's efforts in Alaska on Friday, saying it brings "us closer than ever before" to ending the war.
