U.S. President Donald Trump reversed course in the wake of his meeting with Russian leader Vladimir Putin to say an overall peace agreement — not the ceasefire that he has long championed — is the next step in ending the 3 1/2-year war in Ukraine.

The US president demanded a ceasefire before he met Putin. His change of mind flies in the face of what Europe and Ukraine want.

After the Trump-Putin summit, European leaders said they would accompany President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine to the White House on Monday.

European leaders announced that they would join Ukraine's Volodymyr Zelenskyy in Washington as they seek to navigate America's new approach to ending the war.

European leaders including France's Macron, UK's Starmer and EU's von der Leyen join Zelenskyy for crucial Washington meeting with Trump amid Russia's ongoing war.

After meeting the Russian president, President Trump told European leaders he now favors giving up territory Ukraine controls to Russia to end the fighting, a concession Ukraine has long opposed.

President Trump told European leaders in a phone call from Air Force One that he is more willing than before for the U.S. to provide direct security guarantees to Ukraine, according to people familiar with the content of the conversation.
