Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy will meet with US President Donald Trump on Sunday in pursuit of a deal to end Russia’s nearly four-year invasion, though the latest comments from Moscow raise doubts about how close a final agreement really is.
Zelenskiy told reporters on Friday that he’d discuss sensitive issues with Trump including the future of the Donbas region in Ukraine’s east and the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant. The meeting is set for 3 p.m. local time in Palm Beach, Florida, according to Trump’s official schedule.
