Zelensky arrives in Washington for summit with Trump

The Ukrainian president has arrived in the US capital Washington DC for his meeting with Donald Trump. On X, Zelensky expressed his gratitude for the invitation from the US President. "We all share a strong desire to end this war quickly and reliably. And peace must be lasting,” he wrote.

“Not like it was years ago, when Ukraine was forced to give up Crimea and part of our East – part of Donbas – and Putin simply used it as a springboard for a new attack. Or when Ukraine was given so called ‘security guarantees’ in 1994, but they didn’t work.”

Zelensky also wrote, 'Russia must end this war that it started. I hope that our joint strength with the US and our European allies will force Russia to make real peace.'

He has sparked a fresh row with Denmark after appointing a special envoy to Greenland.   In response to a question from the BBC about the new role of Jeff Landry, the Republican governor of Louisiana, Trump said the US needed Greenland for "national protection" and that "we have to have it". Trump specifically mentioned Chinese and Russian ships as potential threats in the nearby seas. Greenland, home to about 57,000 people, has had extensive self-government since 1979, though defence and foreign policy remain in Danish hands. While most Greenlanders favour eventual independence from Denmark, opinion polls show overwhelming opposition to becoming part of the US. (click the image to read the full story).
