The Ukrainian leader returned with a U.S. commitment to participate in security guarantees for Kyiv in a postwar settlement.

The last time Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky visited the White House earlier this year, he was berated by Donald Trump. On Monday, he returned with European leaders by his side. He emerged with some signs of progress on a peace deal to end Russia’s war against Ukraine.

If anyone could convince him to change his look, it would be me,” said Viktor Anisimov, who was working to transform the Ukrainian president’s look even before it was questioned at a White House meeting.

The historic Trump–Zelensky–EU summit in Washington brought urgent calls for a Ukraine ceasefire, sharp clashes over NATO and security guarantees, and united pressure on Russian President Vladimir Putin to negotiate.

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

European leaders are to join the Ukrainian president during a visit that seeks a path to ending the war between Ukraine and Russia.

The president's sudden openness to offering NATO-style security guarantees to Ukraine has drawn a sharp rebuke from his hardcore allies.
