White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said on Tuesday that Russian President Vladimir Putin has promised to meet with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has agreed to a bilateral meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt announced Tuesday.

Trump and Putin met at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson in Anchorage, Alaska on Friday afternoon to discuss an end to Russia’s war on Ukraine, which began more than three years ago. The pair announced “great progress” had been made, but they still did not reach any kind of plan to end the war.

A White House spokeswoman said Vladimir Putin had agreed to a meeting with Volodymyr Zelensky, but Russia has not confirmed. President Trump said American troops would not be deployed in Ukraine.

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

President Donald Trump is willing to “crush” Russia’s economy with sanctions if Russian President Vladimir Putin refuses to meet with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy
