Trump Plans Meeting with Zelensky in Washington: New Diplomatic Moves and Political Developments
In an unexpected yet strategically significant move, former US President Donald Trump announced his intention to meet with Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky in Washington, D.C.
According to sources, this meeting is scheduled for October 17, with details currently kept confidential.
The news was circulated via the social media platform X (formerly Twitter) by journalist Christopher Miller of the Financial Times, citing three unnamed sources.
Experts suggest that this could signal a renewal or strengthening of high-level diplomatic interactions between the US and Ukraine.
The last time Zelensky and Trump met was at the end of September during the UN General Assembly session in New York.
Over the past few days, their telephone conversations have primarily focused on military aid, including discussions about supplying American Tomahawk cruise missiles.
Additionally, the Ukrainian delegation, led by Prime Minister Yulia Sviridenko, has begun a series of negotiations with American counterparts in Washington, indicating a period of active diplomatic engagement in this direction.
