Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy met US President Donald Trump at the White House on Tuesday, ahead of the funeral of Senator Lindsey Graham. The meeting marked their second in-person discussion this month as Zelenskyy travelled to Washington to honour Graham, whose final official visit was to Kyiv, where he secured agreement on a sanctions package targeting countries that buy Russian oil, gas and other exports.
Soon after arriving in the US, Zelenskyy said in a social media post that his “number one priority” is “anti-ballistic defence and strategic cooperation with America.”
“Peace needs to be brought closer,” said Zelenskyy.
A White House official, speaking on condition of anonymity ahead of the closed-door meeting, said Trump would focus on the “ongoing peace process” between Russia and Ukraine.
