Washington, D.C. President Donald Trump announced that several European heads of state will arrive in the United States this week for high level discussions aimed at resolving the ongoing war in Ukraine. The meetings, scheduled for September 8 and 9, follow a recent escalation in hostilities, including a massive Russian airstrike that damaged key government infrastructure in Kyiv.

While specific leaders have not been publicly named, the White House confirmed that the talks will focus on diplomatic strategies, ceasefire negotiations, and long term security guarantees for Ukraine. Trump reiterated his intention to speak directly with Russian President Vladimir Putin “soon,” expressing confidence that a resolution is within reach.

The visit comes amid growing pressure on European nations to reduce reliance on Russian energy and coordinate military support for Ukraine. Analysts suggest the meetings may also address broader geopolitical tensions, including economic pressure on China and post conflict reconstruction plans.
