Kiev, 16 August 2025 (dpa/MIA) - Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky will travel to Washington on Monday for talks with US President Donald Trump, Zelensky announced on Saturday morning on Telegram following a phone call with Trump.

"On Monday, I will meet with President Trump in Washington, D.C., to discuss all of the details regarding ending the killing and the war. I am grateful for the invitation," Zelensky posted in English on X.

He said he supports the Trump's proposal for a trilateral meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin. "Ukraine emphasizes that key issues can be discussed at the level of leaders, and a trilateral format is suitable for this," he added.

Zelensky advocated for the inclusion of European representatives, especially on the issue of security guarantees for his country.

Zelensky and Trump had earlier had a phone conversation lasting about an hour. European leaders were later connected to the conversation, which lasted more than an hour and a half in total.

Trump informed Zelensky and the Europeans about the "main points of their discussion" with Putin, Zelensky said.
