The Washington meeting on Monday is expected to be attended by German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, French President Emmanuel Macron, Finnish President Alexander Stubb, UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni and NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte.

The purpose of the visit is the possible conclusion of a peace agreement with Russia following the summit between Trump and Kremlin leader Vladimir Putin in Alaska.

Zelenskyy's last visit to the White House in February ended in a fight between the two presidents, and the US president temporarily suspended military aid to Ukraine.
