Trump emphasized his 'love' for the Ukrainian people and his commitment to provide security guarantees for Kyiv in an ultimate peace settlement with Russia.

P resident Donald Trump is scheduled Monday afternoon to meet with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in the Oval Office, where six months ago the two leaders engaged in a televised shouting match that threw into doubt how long the U.S. would continue its support for Ukraine against a Russia invasion.

President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine said that a full prisoner exchange was also essential to ending the war. Other European leaders also expressed their support for a cease-fire.
