The following individuals will be in the bilateral meeting between President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, according to a White House official: Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Chief of Staff Susie Wiles, Special Envoy Steve Witkoff and Special Envoy Keith Kellogg.

President Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky spoke to reporters from the Oval Office before their meeting on a potential path to end the war with Russia.

Ukraine's leader is scheduled to meet with President Trump and his advisers in the Oval Office alone before an expanded meeting with European leaders.
