The White House announced a significant diplomatic breakthrough about the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine. Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed that Russian President Vladimir Putin has agreed to a direct, one-on-one meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. The announcement positions this bilateral meeting as a primary and critical phase of the peace process.
This development follows a recent phone conversation between President Trump and President Putin. While the meeting itself is structured to be exclusively between the two warring leaders, the White House tried to sneak the idea of Trump participating in an imaginary meeting that could happen after the upcoming meet-up. This is likely a way to keep him involved despite not being invited to this meeting.
