Zelensky returns to the Oval Office for the first time since his blowup with Trump. This time he is bringing back up.

The Ukrainian president’s outfit during his visit to the White House Monday reflects a change in approach since his disastrous meeting with US President Trump earlier this year.

President Trump seeks to broker a meeting of the two leaders to end Europe’s most destructive war in generations.

A summit in Paris six years ago was the first and only time the two presidents ever met, flanked by French president Emmanuel Macron and Germany’s then-chancellor Angela Merkel. At the time, Putin and Zelensky were looking to hash out a ceasefire deal for war in Donbas in Ukraine’s east, where Russia-backed forces were fighting Ukrainian troops.

Residents in Kyiv have expressed relief following Monday’s talks between Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, President Trump, and other European leaders at the White House. They also expressed support for Zelensky’s refusal to cede territory to Russia as Trump pushes for a meeting between Russian President Putin and Zelensky.
