Zelenskiy to travel to Washington on Monday for talks with Trump
'On Monday, I will meet with President Trump in Washington, DC, to discuss all of the details regarding ending the killing and the war. I am grateful for the invitation,' Zelenskiy said on X.
He said he spoke to Trump today in a call that lasted for more than an hour and a half, and that they were joined after an hour by European and Nato officials.
Zelenskiy has repeatedly said that a trilateral meeting with the Russian and U.S. leaders is crucial to finding a way to end the full-scale war launched by Russia in February 2022.
Trump this week voiced the idea of such a meeting, saying it could happen if his bilateral talks with Putin were successful.
'Ukraine emphasizes that key issues can be discussed at the level of leaders, and a trilateral format is suitable for this,' Zelenskiy said on X.
The Ukrainian leader has repeatedly underlined the importance of security guarantees for Kyiv as part of any deal, to deter Russia from launching a new invasion at some point in the future.
'We also discussed positive signals from the American side regarding participation in guaranteeing Ukraine's security,' Zelenskiy said after his call with Trump. — Reuters

European leaders to support Zelenskiy in Washington as Trump pushes Ukraine deal
LONDON/KYIV/WASHINGTON: European leaders will accompany Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy in talks with US President Donald Trump, aiming to strengthen Kyiv's position as Washington pushes for a swift peace agreement to end Europe's deadliest conflict in decades. Trump has urged Zelenskiy to negotiate a settlement after aligning more closely with Moscow's stance during recent discussions with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska. The Ukrainian and US leaders will hold a bilateral meeting on Monday before being joined by European officials for broader talks, according to a source familiar with the plans. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio warned of continued bloodshed if peace efforts fail, stating, 'If peace is not going to be possible here and this is just going to continue on as a war, people will continue to die by the thousands.' Trump claimed significant progress in discussions with Russia in social media posts but did not provide specifics, while suggesting Zelenskiy could end the war quickly by abandoning ambitions to reclaim Crimea or join NATO. Sources indicate Moscow has proposed withdrawing from small occupied areas in exchange for Ukraine ceding fortified eastern territories and freezing front lines elsewhere. Russia's envoy to international organisations, Mikhail Ulyanov, stated that any peace deal must include security guarantees for both Ukraine and Russia. Trump's envoy Steve Witkoff revealed that Russia had tentatively agreed to an Article 5-like defence pact for Ukraine, though Kyiv remains sceptical given past broken assurances. German, French, and British leaders convened on Sunday to reinforce support for Zelenskiy, emphasising that territorial discussions must involve Ukraine and include strong security provisions. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and other EU leaders will attend the Washington talks, seeking to prevent a repeat of Trump's public criticism of Zelenskiy in February. A joint statement from Britain, France, and Germany pledged post-war security assistance, including potential reassurance forces and support for Ukraine's military reconstruction. Zelenskiy welcomed the European backing, stressing that any security guarantees must be practical and developed with European involvement. Rubio acknowledged potential concessions from both sides but warned of further consequences for Russia if negotiations fail. Putin has briefed allies Belarus and Kazakhstan on the Alaska talks, while Trump has repeatedly asserted that Ukraine should compromise due to Russia's military superiority. – Reuters

Asian stocks rise as oil falls before Trump-Zelensky talks
TOKYO: Asian stocks climbed higher on Monday as oil prices declined ahead of crucial talks between former US President Donald Trump, Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky, and European officials in Washington. Trump's recent meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska ended without progress on a Ukraine ceasefire, leaving markets cautious. Zelensky described a US proposal for Ukrainian security guarantees as 'historic' ahead of his Washington visit alongside European leaders. 'Trump and Putin walked away without a ceasefire, without even the illusion of one,' said SPI Asset Management's Stephen Innes. 'What they did offer was theatre: enough 'progress' for Trump to declare victory and quietly holster his double-barreled threat — tariffs on Beijing for buying Russian barrels and sanctions on Moscow's crude,' Innes added. US stocks had fluctuated on Friday following mixed economic signals, including rising retail sales but weaker industrial output and consumer sentiment. Oil prices extended losses on Monday after recent volatility, with Russia's role as a major crude producer keeping markets on edge. Japan's Nikkei hit a fresh record high, buoyed by stronger-than-expected economic growth figures. Hong Kong, Shanghai, and Sydney markets also advanced, while Taipei retreated slightly. Investors are now focused on potential US interest rate signals from the Federal Reserve's Jackson Hole symposium this week. Tokyo's Nikkei 225 rose 0.7% to 43,678.12, while Hong Kong's Hang Seng edged up 0.1% to 25,293.34. Shanghai's Composite Index gained 0.2% to 3,704.76, and the Dow Jones closed 0.1% higher at 44,946.12. London's FTSE 100 dropped 0.4% to 9,138.90, and Brent crude fell 0.3% to $65.65 per barrel. The dollar strengthened to 147.47 yen, while the euro dipped slightly to $1.1699. – AFP

NATO-like protection in focus for Trump meeting with Ukraine, Europe
WASHINGTON: US President Donald Trump could offer NATO-like protection to Ukraine, and Russia is open to the idea, one of his top foreign policy officials said on Sunday ahead of a meeting with Ukraine and European leaders to hammer out details of possible security guarantees for Kyiv. "We were able to win the following concession, that the United States could offer Article 5-like protection," Steve Witkoff, Trump's special envoy to Russia, told CNN's State of the Union programme. "The United States could offer Article 5 protection, which was the first time we had ever heard the Russians agree to that." Witkoff was referring to Article 5 of the North Atlantic Treaty, which regards any attack against one of its 32 members as an attack on all. He suggested that a security guarantee of that scale could be offered to Ukraine in lieu of NATO membership, which Putin has ruled out. Russia launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 and has been gradually advancing for months in the deadliest war in Europe for 80 years. Witkoff and Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who were both in the room when Trump met Russian leader Vladimir Putin in Alaska on Friday, gave a series of TV interviews ahead of a Monday meeting in Washington with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy and leaders of some European allies. "We made some progress, we believe, and now we have to follow up on that progress," Rubio told CNN's State of the Union about the meeting with Putin. "Ultimately, where this should lead is to a meeting between the three leaders — Zelenskiy, Putin and President Trump — where we can finalise, but we've got to get this thing closer before we get to that point." Russian officials are opposed to Western troops in Ukraine but have not ruled out a security guarantee for Kyiv. Speaking during a joint media appearance with Trump after their nearly three-hour-long meeting, Putin said on Friday: "I agree with President Trump. He said today that Ukraine's security must be ensured by all means. "Of course, we are ready to work on this." Witkoff told Fox News Sunday that Russia had also agreed to passing a law against taking any more of Ukraine by force. "The Russians agreed on enshrining legislatively language that would prevent them, or that they would attest to, not attempting to take any more land from Ukraine after a peace deal, where they would attest to not violating any European borders," he said. Any security guarantees offered to Zelenskiy could also include a commitment from the United States, Rubio told Fox News' Sunday Morning Futures, an option that many of Trump's MAGA supporters have rejected up to now. "It would be a very big move by the president if he were to offer a US commitment to a security guarantee," Rubio said. "It tells you how badly he wants peace, how much he values peace, that he would be willing to make a concession like that ... That's what we'll talk about tomorrow." In a social media post, Trump wrote: "BIG PROGRESS ON RUSSIA. STAY TUNED!" but he gave no details. Rubio said US officials discussed security details for Ukraine with the national security advisers of multiple European countries on Saturday, adding that the aim would be to build in details that could ultimately be presented to Russia as part of a peace agreement. He told Fox News that the talks between Trump and Putin on Friday had narrowed the number of key issues, which include drawing borders and military alliances for Ukraine as well as security guarantees. "There's a lot of work that remains," Rubio added. According to sources, Trump and Putin discussed proposals for Russia to relinquish tiny pockets of occupied Ukraine in exchange for Ukraine ceding a swathe of fortified land in the east and freezing the front lines elsewhere. Rubio said Russia and Ukraine would not be able to get everything they want. "If one side gets everything they want, that's not a peace deal. "It's called surrender, and I don't think this is a war that's going to end anytime soon on the basis of surrender," Rubio told CNN. In a separate interview on ABC, Rubio said if a deal could not be reached to end the war, existing US sanctions on Russia would continue, and more could be added. When Zelenskiy visited the White House in February, the meeting ended in a shouting match. "Rubio, speaking to CBS, dismissed the idea that the European leaders were coming to Washington to protect Zelenskiy. "They're not coming here tomorrow to keep Zelenskiy from being bullied. They're coming here tomorrow because we've been working with the Europeans," he said. "We invited them to come."
