Germany confirms European leaders will join a Wednesday call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and US President Donald Trump – right after Trump’s high-stakes meeting with Vladimir Putin.
🛑 Trump’s Game Plan:
Speaking from the White House, Trump said his Putin meeting will be a “feel-out session” but made it clear:
> “I’m telling him — you have to end this war.”
✈️ He plans to debrief European leaders immediately after the meeting, maybe even “as I’m flying out.”
⚡ Tough Words for Zelenskyy:
Trump stressed he gets along with Zelenskyy, but disagrees “very severely” with some of his decisions. He even expressed irritation that Zelenskyy wants constitutional approval for potential land swaps:
> “He’s got approval to go into war and kill everybody, but needs approval to swap land?”
📍 The Bigger Picture:
Trump hinted that some land exchanges between Ukraine and Russia are inevitable — “good for Ukraine” but “complex” due to uneven battle lines. He says the next step should be a direct Zelenskyy–Putin meeting… and he’s ready to be in the room if needed.
🔥 This Wednesday could be one of the most dramatic diplomatic days of the year!
