Trump meets Zelensky after announcing Putin summit
October 18, 2025
|Saturday Star
UKRAINIAN President Volodymyr Zelensky met Donald Trump at the White House yesterday, seeking US-made Tomahawk missiles even as the US president readied for a fresh summit with Russia's Vladimir Putin.
-
Zelensky made his third trip to Washington since Trump returned to office, following a disastrous televised shouting match in February and a makeup meeting in August, as the US leader's stance on the war blows hot and cold.
Trump’s latest pivot came on the eve of Zelensky’s visit. He announced that he would be meeting Putin in Budapest, in a fresh bid to reach a peace deal and end Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine launched in 2022.
Ukraine had hoped Zelensky’s trip would be more about adding to the pressure on Putin, especially by getting American-made long-range Tomahawk cruise missiles that can strike deep into Russia.
But Trump appears set on pursuing a new diplomatic breakthrough to follow the Gaza ceasefire deal that he brokered last week.
