The Washington talks included meetings between the U.S. and Ukrainian presidents, followed by broader discussions with European leaders, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, and NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte.

The summit was convened following Friday’s Alaska meeting between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin, where the future of Ukraine was a central topic.
