Three years since Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, President Donald Trump will meet with French President Emmanuel Macron Monday to discuss the ongoing war. The two are also speaking with fellow G7 leaders in a virtual meeting.
Meanwhile, leaders from Europe and Canada are visiting Ukraine's capital, Kyiv, to show support as the U.S. aligns itself less with Europe and Ukraine.
Trump is pushing to end the fighting on unclear terms, falsely calling Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy a dictator and blaming him for starting the war.
"The war, irrespective of who started it, needs to end," Steve Witkoff, U.S. Special Envoy to the Middle East, said. "Too many people's lives have been expunged as a result of it, and it just doesn't make sense to the president."
Zelenskyy, who was democratically elected, said he would leave the presidency if a resolution guarantees the long-term security and economic success of his country.
"An agreement between partners needs to be a win-win agreement, not a scandal, or a win for American business and our business and our people," Zelenskyy said in remarks Sunday.
The U.N. will also vote on dueling resolutions Monday: one from Ukraine with tough language against Russia, demanding its withdrawal. The other from the U.S. avoids calling out Russia altogether.
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said on Saturday that a resolution could come as soon as this week, but Witkoff, who is involved in the talks, downplayed that on Sunday, saying he is hopeful something can be done "quickly."
Russia says more talks will take place later this week.
