President Volodymyr Zelensky and European leaders will aim to defend Ukraine’s position in talks after President Trump aligned more closely with Russia. Hours before the meeting, Russia hit Ukraine with a deadly strike.

Ukraine’s president condemns Russia’s “cynical” strikes before his meeting with Trump at 13:00 EST (18:00 BST).

Zelensky returns to the Oval Office for the first time since his blowup with Trump. This time he is bringing back up.

Ukrainian officials said the deadly strikes were a further sign that Russia had no intention of halting hostilities.

President Donald Trump was up late on Sunday ahead of his latest all-important meeting on Ukraine, engaging in a wild posting spree that saw him ricochet from insulting a Democratic senator’s appearance to raving about his new White House flag poles.

European leaders will join Ukraine's Zelenskyy for a meeting in Washington days after Donald Trump's summit with Russia's Putin in Alaska.
