President Donald Trump is scheduled on Monday to welcome Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to the White House for a high-stakes meeting as the U.S. president pushes for a deal to end Moscow's war on its neighbor. A host of European leaders will join the pair.

U.S. President Donald Trump says he has called Russian President Vladimir Putin and begun to arrange a meeting between Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, a critical step toward bringing a possible end to Russia's war on Ukraine.

Trump attacked and insulted the Ukrainian leader during his February visit, so this time, Zelenskyy brought friends along.
