The White House has confirmed that former President Trump will not hold a bilateral meeting with Ukrainian President Zelenskyy during the upcoming G7 summit. This decision comes amidst ongoing conflict in Ukraine and differing perspectives on the war’s trajectory. A US official stated that Russian advances have been halted, acknowledging continued Ukrainian attacks within Russian territory. The lack of a planned meeting signals a potential strain in relations, or at least a deliberate distancing, between the two leaders. This development occurs as Ukraine continues its counteroffensive efforts and seeks international support. The G7 summit is expected to focus heavily on the situation in Ukraine, despite the absence of a direct Trump-Zelenskyy discussion. The US official’s assessment suggests a stabilization of the front lines, though fighting persists.
