Donald Trump to meet Zelensky after ‘productive’ call with Putin | BBC News

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky will meet with US President Donald Trump in Washington on Friday.

Their meeting comes a day after Trump said "great progress" was made during a phone call with Russian President Vladimir Putin, with the pair agreeing to face-to-face talks in Hungary.

Hours before the Trump-Putin call, Russia launched one of its largest attacks of the year on Ukraine, including 28 ballistic missiles, and 320 drones, according to Ukraine's ambassador to the US, Olga Stefanishyna.

It comes as Trump weighs whether to arm Ukraine with Tomahawk missiles capable of striking deep into Russia.
