Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says he plans to meet U.S. President Donald Trump in Washington on Monday after Trump’s summit with Russia’s Vladimir Putin ended without an agreement to end the war in Ukraine.

The problem is that they have no strategy of their own for ending the Ukraine war, other than hoping to contain Russia over the longer term.

Trump said an overall peace agreement, and not a ceasefire, was the best way to end the war between Ukraine and Russia.

Trump promised during his campaign that he would end Russia’s war on Ukraine on his first day back in office, which is now 207 days ago.

The U.S. president’s latest statements are a reversal of much of what he seemed to have agreed to with European allies this past week.

Russia is withdrawing some of its military forces from Ukraine. It is the first indication that Kyiv’s incursion is forcing Moscow to reconsider its battle plans. Ukraine’s top military commander claims 100 Russian prisoners of war have been captured since the start of Ukraine’s surprise invasion.
