Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy returned to the White House for high-stakes talks with President Donald Trump and European allies.
The two leaders posed briefly for photographers before moving inside for discussions on Ukraine’s war effort and Western support.
.@POTUS: "It's an honor to have the President of Ukraine (@ZelenskyyUa) with us... I think progress is being made... We had a good meeting, as you know, just a short while ago with the President of Russia — and I think there's a possibility that something could come out of it." pic.twitter.com/iWWXCXsRbe

Zelenskyy, often criticized in Washington for his military attire, wore a suit this time—removing one source of past tension from his February visit.
The meeting underscores Trump’s continued push for allied unity in handling the conflict.
