“I love it,” President Trump told Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky when he arrived at the White House on Monday for a high-stakes meeting.

Ukrainian analysts watching their president’s return to the White House were braced for a “nightmare.” They took cautious encouragement from what they saw instead.

Volodymyr Zelensky got his sartorial revenge at the White House, taking on reporter Brian Glenn, who has commented on his fashion choices before.

Zelensky said in his Telegram channel. "We exchanged assessments of the meetings in Washington and discussed our joint work with all partners regarding strong security guarantees for Ukraine. Jonas noted that this is truly a historic achievement: Europe has never been so united around Ukraine," the report said.

Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky will meet with President Donald Trump on Monday, bringing European leaders with him after Putin summit.
