United States President, Donald Trump, has revealed details of a high-level meeting at the White House with key European leaders, signaling a potential breakthrough in efforts to end the Russia-Ukraine war.
In a post on his social media platform Monday night, Trump described the discussions as a “very good, early step” toward resolving the nearly four-year-old conflict.
The meeting included Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, French President Emmanuel Macron, Finnish President Alexander Stubb, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, and NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte.
According to Trump, the leaders discussed “Security Guarantees for Ukraine,” which would be provided by European nations in coordination with the United States.
“Everyone is very happy about the possibility of PEACE for Russia/Ukraine,” Trump wrote, suggesting growing optimism among Western leaders.
He further disclosed that he had spoken with Russian President Vladimir Putin to arrange a face-to-face meeting between Putin and Zelenskyy at an undetermined location. Following that discussion, Trump proposed a
“Trilat”—a three-way summit involving himself and the two warring leaders.
The U. S, President credited his administration’s diplomatic team, including Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and Special Envoy Steve Witkoff, with coordinating the negotiations between Moscow and Kyiv. “After that meeting takes place, we will have a Trilat,” Trump stated, framing the effort as a critical move toward de-escalation.
The announcement marks one of the most significant developments in recent months toward potential peace talks, though details on the proposed security guarantees and meeting logistics remain unclear. Analysts will be watching closely to see whether these preliminary discussions translate into concrete diplomatic progress after years of stalled negotiations.
Trump concluded his message by thanking the public for their attention to the matter, reinforcing his role as a central figure in the renewed push for a resolution to Europe’s deadliest conflict in decades.
