Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says he plans to meet U.S. President Donald Trump in Washington on Monday after Trump’s summit with Russia’s Vladimir Putin ended without an agreement to end the war in Ukraine.

The problem is that they have no strategy of their own for ending the Ukraine war, other than hoping to contain Russia over the longer term.

"This is a Russian tactic before any negotiations," Alina Alekseeva, the deputy head of Ukraine's Center for Countering Disinformation, told the Kyiv Independent.
