European leaders will join Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy for his crucial meeting with President Donald Trump, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said on Sunday.

NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte will also attend, the Alliance’s press service confirmed to Suspilne. German government spokesperson Stefan Kornelius said Chancellor Friedrich Merz’s goal in traveling to Washington is to exchange information with Trump following his Aug.

The city’s Attorney General Brian Schwalb filed a lawsuit calling for an emergency restraining order to block the move, accusing the Trump Administration of implementing a “hostile takeover” of the Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) that would lead to “imminent, irreparable harm”.

Authorities also said there will be a "significantly higher national guard presence on the ground" starting Wednesday night.
