President Trump is hosting Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and several European leaders at the White House on Monday. Follow live updates.

In a reversal only few hours after meeting Russian President Vladimir Putin, Trump said an overall peace agreement, and not a ceasefire, was the best way to end the war. That statement echoed Putin’s view 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's previous White House visit ended in acrimony. This time, both he and Trump seemed determined to avoid a public debacle.
