Ukraine's Zelenskyy to meet Trump on Monday after US-Russia summit secured no peace agreement
Kyiv (AP): Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy will meet US President Donald Trump in Washington on Monday after Trump's summit with Russia's Vladimir Putin ended without an agreement to end the war in Ukraine.
Trump declared on his social media site that Friday's meeting in Alaska “went very well.” After the summit and calls early Saturday with Zelenskyy and European leaders, he wrote: “It was determined by all that the best way to end the horrific war between Russia and Ukraine is to go directly to a Peace Agreement, which would end the war, and not a mere Ceasefire Agreement, which often times do not hold up.”
Putin has previously said that Russia is not interested in a temporary truce, and instead is seeking a long-term settlement that takes Moscow's interests into account.
Zelenskyy said he held a “long and substantive” conversation with Trump. He thanked Trump for an invitation to meet in person in Washington on Monday and said they would “discuss all of the details regarding ending the killing and the war.”
It will be Zelenskyy's first visit to the US since Trump berated him for being “disrespectful” during an extraordinary Oval Office meeting in February.
Trump confirmed the White House meeting and said that “if all works out, we will then schedule a meeting with President Putin.”
Trump rolled out the red carpet on Friday for Putin, who was in the US for the first time in a decade. But he gave little concrete detail afterward of what was discussed.
Trump had warned ahead of the summit of “very severe consequences” for Russia if Putin doesn't agree to end the war.

Man found hanging at brother's house in Delhi's Jafrabad; suicide over matrimonial discord suspected
New Delhi (PTI): A 30-year-old man was found hanging at his residence in northeast Delhi's Jafrabad area on Thursday, with police suspecting that matrimonial discord may have driven him to take the extreme step, an official said.
Information was received from Lok Nayak Jai Prakash (LNJP) Hospital regarding a person who had been brought dead, he said.
During enquiry, the deceased was identified as Chand (30), a resident of Welcome area. Police said he was staying with his brother at a house in Jafrabad where he was allegedly found hanging.
According to police, Chand was first taken to Jag Pravesh Chandra Hospital by family members after they found him in an unconscious state, and was declared brought dead.
The family later shifted him to LNJP Hospital seeking a second medical opinion, where doctors again declared him dead, police said.
Police said the body has been sent for post-mortem to ascertain the cause of death.
During preliminary verification, it came to light that Chand was facing matrimonial issues. His wife had reportedly left him and shifted to her parental home following disputes between the couple, police said, adding that the angle is being examined as part of the investigation.
Crime and forensics teams were informed and necessary legal proceedings are underway, police said.
