Ukrainian officials have not yet provided full details of the schedule, but discussions with U.S. leadership are expected to focus on security assistance, diplomatic initiatives, and the ongoing war.
A potential meeting with Trump would come at a time when both sides are seeking to coordinate positions on efforts to bring the war to an end. Kyiv has repeatedly emphasized that any peace agreement must guarantee Ukraine’s sovereignty and long-term security.
