Ukraine live news: Trump and European officials urge Putin to meet with Zelenskyy | Ukraine(Note: The title has been reworded for clarity and to change some of the terminology, but the content and meaning remain the same.)

Zelenskyy</a> and the leaders of Britain, Germany, France, Italy, Finland, the European Union and Nato as "a very good, early step</strong> for a war that has been going on for almost four years". He also said on social media that vice-president JD Vance, secretary of state Marco Rubio and special envoy Steve Witkoff were "coordinating with Russia and Ukraine". "Everyone is very happy about the possibility of peace for Russia/Ukraine", Trump said.</p></li>\n <li>\n <p><strong>French president Emmanuel Macron called for stepping up sanctions against Russia if Putin does not move forward on peace with <a href=\"https://www.theguardian.com/world/ukraine\">Ukraine</a>. </strong>Merz said <a href=\"https://www.theguardian.com/world/ukraine\">Ukraine</a> should not be forced to surrender its Donbas region to Russia in talks, likening it to the US giving up Florida.</p></li>\n <li>\n <p><strong>Trump, however, seemed clearly swayed by Putin from their talks in Alaska last Friday and echoed the Russian president’s talking points</strong>, saying several times on Monday that ending the war was "up to" both Zelenskyy and Putin – rather than just Putin, who invaded Ukraine. Trump also said: "We also need to discuss the possible exchanges of territory, taking into consideration the current line of contact – that means the war zone<em>.</em;</p></li>\n <li>\n <p><strong>Ukraine will promise to buy $90bn of US weapons financed by Europe as part of a deal</strong>to get guarantees from the US for its security if there is a peace settlement with Russia, Zelenskyy said. "There indeed is a package with our proposals worth $90bn", the Ukrainian president said. "And we have agreements with the US president that when our export opens, they will buy Ukrainian drones. This is important for us.\".</p></li>\n <li>\n <p><strong>In stark contrast to the heated exchange during Zelenskyy’s first trip to Trump’s White House in February, the Ukrainian president’s charm offensive this time around looked to pay off</strong>, allowing him to emerge unscathed. Zelenskyy – who wore a black military-style suit and presented a letter from his wife, Olena Zelenska, for Melania Trump in response to her letter to Putin – said this meeting with Trump was his "best" so far.</p></li>\n<ul> +“],”"attributes":{"pinned":false,"keyEvent":false,"summary":true},"blockCreatedOn":1755575161000,"blockCreatedOnDisplay":"05.46 ‹a> CEST","blockLastUpdated":1755575153000,"blockLastUpdatedDisplay":"05.45 ‬a> CEST","blockFirstPublished":1755575161000,"blockFirstPublishedDisplay":"05.46 ‰Cuando-ceste-utd genera-l&l grenobloise&quot; ." , "blockFirstPublishedDisplayNoTimezone"”:"05.46" , "title" :"'& .␒ç™$ Открывающее сведение'" , "contributors" : [] , & "" name=”” .Sets/de3ace37-dbe3-439d-9b6e-5 .":unique_id "enterprise-delivery-views-view-get-pageblockyearid-" , ” .Sets\u0023de3ace37-dbe3-439d-9b6e-5″ =\u003d “” .
