It comes after advisers of the U.S. President were reportedly left 'ashen-faced' and 'frightened' following the two-and-a-half hour summit between the two leaders on Friday about the ongoing conflict.

Donald Trump claimed the Ukrainian President can "end the war with Russia almost immediately, if he wants to" as he appeared to rule out two key issues.

Donald Trump has told Ukraine to give up hopes of getting back annexed Crimea or joining NATO as he prepares to host President Volodymyr Zelensky and European leaders in Washington on Monday to press Kyiv into accepting a peace deal with Russia.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy and his European allies arrive in Washington on Monday anxious to find out what Donald Trump committed to at his summit with Vladimir Putin and apprehensive that he’ll force Kyiv into making unpalatable concessions.

"We are seeing accommodation more than we've seen in the past, certainly more than we saw in the last administration," Witkoff said. "And that's encouraging. Now we have to build on that."

It is quite possible that Monday's meeting in the White House could prove even more crucial to the future of Ukraine - and for all of Europe's security - than last Friday's US-Russia summit in Alaska. On the surface, that Putin-Trump reunion seemed to live down to every expectation. There was no ceasefire, no sanctions, no grand announcements.

The US First Lady wrote Vladimir Putin could "singlehandedly restore" the "melodic laughter" of children affected by the war in Ukraine.
