U.S. President Donald Trump has stated that the return of Crimea and NATO membership are not options for Ukraine.
Trump added that the Ukrainian president has the choice to either end the war or continue fighting.
“Today will be a busy day at the White House with the meeting of European leaders,” Trump said. “I have never met with this many European leaders at the same time before.”
According to The New York Times, citing senior European officials, several European leaders have been invited to attend a meeting on Monday at the White House with President Trump and his Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr Zelensky.
This gathering comes shortly after Trump’s summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska on Friday.
Washington described the talks as having achieved “significant progress” in discussions on the Ukraine crisis, though no final agreement was reached to end the conflict.
