Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and US counterpart Donald Trump will hold a phone call with European leaders after their bilateral meeting on ending the war, Zelensky’s spokesman said on Sunday.
After the two leaders meet, “a phone call between the President of Ukraine V. Zelensky and the President of the United States D. Trump with European leaders” is planned, Zelensky’s spokesman Sergiy Nykyforov told journalists.
He added that “the final list of participants is still being determined.”
Zelensky will sit down Sunday with Trump and seek to secure the US president’s stamp of approval for a new proposal to end the nearly four-year conflict with Russia.
The 20-point plan, which emerged from weeks of intense US-Ukraine negotiations, lacks Moscow’s approval, and the face-to-face in Florida comes in the wake of a massive Russian missile and drone attack on Kyiv
The meeting, to be hosted by Trump at his opulent Mar-a-Lago residence at 1:00 pm (1800 GMT) Sunday according to the White House, will be the pair’s first in-person encounter since October, when the US president refused to grant Zelensky’s request for long-range Tomahawk missiles.
