US President Donald Trump has ditched his call for a ceasefire in Ukraine, backing instead Russian President Vladimir Putin’s push for a permanent peace agreement. That has not stopped some European leaders from pushing for a temporary truce first, even though the US president has seemingly decided one is not necessary.

The leaders dropped everything to travel to Washington to ensure President Trump didn’t force a bad deal on Ukraine. A road map for peace remains elusive.

Not even a full day after hosting European leaders who expressed solidarity with Ukraine, Trump on Tuesday reverted to his usual pro-Putin self.

After meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin, President Donald Trump touted that he had a "very good meeting" with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in D.C.

President Donald Trump said he’s begun arrangements for a face-to-face meeting between Vladimir Putin and Volodymyr Zelenskyy to discuss a pathway to end Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

President Trump and NATO's top official have made clear the fate of Ukraine-Russia peace talks rest with Zelenskyy and Putin.

A virtual summit will include Trump alongside the leaders of Ukraine, Germany, France, Britain, Finland, Italy, Poland and the European Union and NATO.
