Trump-Zelenskyy Meeting Amid Rising Tensions on Ukraine War

Donald Trump is set to meet with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in New York. Tensions are high as Trump criticizes Ukraine's defense against Russia and advocates for ending U.S. involvement. The meeting occurs just after Vice President Kamala Harris expressed unwavering support for Ukraine.

Donald Trump is scheduled to meet with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy as tensions escalate over Ukraine's defense against Russia's invasion. The meeting, requested by Zelenskyy, will take place at Trump Tower in New York at 9:45 a.m. Eastern Time.

The encounter comes just a day after Vice President Kamala Harris met with Zelenskyy, showing strong support for Ukraine. Trump stated he aims to broker a deal between Presidents Putin and Zelenskyy quickly. The meeting is highly anticipated as Election Day approaches, highlighting the contrasting stances of Trump and Harris on Ukraine's war with Russia.

While Trump claims that Putin would not have invaded if he were president and criticizes Zelenskyy for obtaining U.S. assistance, Harris argues that Trump's proposals are more about surrender than peace. The situation remains complex with Trump's mixed support from his party and Zelenskyy's continued push for international aid.
