U.S. President Donald Trump has announced that several European leaders will travel to the United States this week for discussions on how to end the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict. Speaking to reporters on Sunday evening after attending the U.S. Open men’s tennis final in New York, Trump said the visits would take place on Monday or Tuesday, though he did not specify which leaders were expected. The White House has yet to release further details.
The president also revealed plans to speak with Russian President Vladimir Putin soon, signaling a renewed push by Washington to directly engage Moscow on the crisis. Trump reiterated his belief that the war could be settled in the near future, despite fresh escalations. Ukrainian officials reported that a massive Russian air assault overnight had struck central Kyiv, setting the country’s main government building ablaze.
“I’m not happy with the status of the Russia-Ukraine war,” Trump told reporters, stressing that his administration was determined to pursue a resolution. “The Russia-Ukraine situation, we’re going to get it done.” His comments came amid growing international pressure to halt the conflict, which has dragged on with devastating consequences for civilians and rising global security risks.
The announcement of European leaders’ visits marks a notable diplomatic step as Washington seeks to coordinate efforts with allies to end the fighting. European governments have been divided on the pace and scope of negotiations with Moscow, while Kyiv has continued to demand firm guarantees of sovereignty and territorial integrity. Trump’s invitation may provide a platform for joint strategies on sanctions, humanitarian support, and potential peace talks.
While details remain scarce, analysts say the meetings could shape the next phase of international diplomacy on the conflict. For now, Trump’s declaration underscores his administration’s intent to take a more visible role in steering the negotiations and reassuring allies of U.S. commitment to peace in the region.
