Trump agrees to in-person Wednesday meeting with Zelenskyy

President Donald Trump plans to meet with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Wednesday alongside the NATO summit, according to a White House official granted anonymity to discuss the meeting.

The meeting comes as focus on Russia’s war with Ukraine has taken a backseat to the Israel-Iran conflict.

Leading up to the summit, it was not clear whether Zelenskyy would attend amid fears that a visit wouldn’t be worth his time without a guarantee of significant facetime with Trump. Earlier this month, Zelenskyy flew to Canada for the meeting of G7 world leaders in hopes of a meeting with the U.S. president, but Trump left the summit early.

Trump said on Tuesday morning aboard Air Force One on his way to The Hague, Netherlands, that he would “probably” meet with Zelenskyy, though he did not confirm at the time.

The two last met face-to-face in April at St. Peter’s Basilica in Vatican City during Pope Francis’ funeral. That was their first in-person meeting since their fiery February exchange in the Oval Office.
