15:48Now PlayingMelinda Haring, Non-Resident Senior Fellow the Atlantic Council’s Eurasia Center discusses the importance of this meeting and what the outcome might be for Europe.
Volodymyr Zelenskiy finds himself in an impossible bind: risk Donald Trump’s wrath or accept a quick deal to end Russia’s war in Ukraine by paying the disastrous price of ceding territory for vague security guarantees that could see Moscow come back stronger in a few years’ time.
This is the existential dilemma confronting the Ukrainian leader as he travels to Washington for talks with the US president on Monday. Fresh off a summit in Alaska with Vladimir Putin that bypassed a ceasefire, Trump has left Zelenskiy little room to maneuver.
The situation is made even more tenuous by the memory of his last visit to the White House in February that erupted into a bitter exchange between Zelenskiy and Trump and briefly led to a halt in military support. This time a coterie of European leaders will accompany him, but they have questionable leverage and haven’t always been on the same page.
