Ukraine's Volodymyr Zelenskyy will visit Trump in Washington on Monday to discuss 'ending the war' with President Donald Trump

European leaders will join Ukraine's Zelenskyy for a meeting in Washington days after Donald Trump's summit with Russia's Putin in Alaska.

European leaders in a "coalition of the willing" are meeting to project unity in response to Putin’s demands at his summit with Trump ahead of Zelenskyy’s Washington visit.

Donald Trump is reportedly planning to urge Ukraine to surrender the Donetsk and Luhansk regions as part of negotiations over an end to the war.

The first lady did not attend the summit between President Donald Trump and Russian leader Vladimir Putin in Alaska on Friday.

Russia would relinquish tiny pockets of occupied Ukraine and Kyiv would cede swathes of its eastern land which Moscow has been unable to capture, under peace proposals discussed by Russia’s Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump at their Alaska summit, sources briefed on Moscow’s thinking said.

Melania Trump took the unique step of crafting a letter that calls for peace in Ukraine, having her husband President Donald Trump hand-deliver it to Russian President Vladimir Putin during their Friday meeting in Alaska.

As Zelensky prepares for crucial talks in Washington, the shadow of Russia's demands looms large after Putin set the Donbas as his price for peace
