European leaders will join Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy for a high-stakes meeting at the White House on Monday after President Trump’s summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said in a post on the social platform X on Sunday that she will join the meeting “at the request of President Zelenskyy.”
German Chancellor Friedrich Merz’s office also announced he will be traveling to Washington on Monday for “political talks with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and other European heads of state and government,” according to a translated statement from his office.
The statement said the purpose of the trip is the “exchange of information” with Trump after his meeting with Putin and that Merz plans to discuss peace efforts and “underscore Germany’s interest in a swift peace agreement in Ukraine.”
“The talks will address, among other things, security guarantees, territorial issues, and continued support for Ukraine in its defense against Russian aggression. This includes maintaining the pressure of sanctions,” the translated statement said.
