President Volodymyr Zelensky is preparing to meet with U.S. President Donald Trump in Washington on October 17. This meeting, Zelensky’s sixth since Trump took office, marks an important opportunity for Kyiv to seek stronger support for its ongoing war against Russia.
With Trump warming up to Ukraine, there are hopes that the meeting will result in a more significant commitment to the war effort. The Ukrainian government has been striving to secure additional military and financial support from the U.S., as the war with Russia has placed a substantial strain on the nation’s resources.
Experts suggest that Ukraine’s success in securing substantial support from the U.S. will be crucial in shaping the future of the conflict. However, negotiations are expected to be complex, as the U.S. must balance its strategic interests in the region with its domestic political considerations.
