Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy today revealed that he and the U.S. President Donald Trump has agreed to hold a high-level meeting in the near future, aimed at accelerating discussions to end Russia's ongoing invasion of Ukraine.
In a statement posted on social media, President Zelenskyy emphasized the urgency of the situation, noting that Ukraine's Defense Minister Rustem Umerov had updated him on recent communications with U.S. officials.
"We are not losing a single day. We have agreed on a meeting at the highest level – with President Trump in the near future," Zelenskyy stated. "A lot can be decided before the New Year. Glory to Ukraine!"
This announcement comes amid intensified U.S. efforts to broker a peace deal, with reports indicating the meeting could occur in the coming days as part of broader diplomatic pushes to resolve the conflict that has persisted since February 2022.
The development follows weeks of backchannel communications between Ukrainian and American representatives, highlighting a potential shift in momentum toward negotiations.
President Zelenskyy has repeatedly stressed the importance of international support in defending Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity. The upcoming talks with President Trump are expected to focus on key issues, including security guarantees, ceasefire proposals, and long term reconstruction aid for Ukraine.
The Office of the President of Ukraine remains committed to pursuing all diplomatic avenues to achieve a just and lasting peace. Further details on the meeting will be provided as they become available.
