Zelensky learned several lessons from his last visit to Washington, which led to a confrontation in front of the world with both Trump and Vice President JD Vance before he departed early.

The Ukrainian leader seemed mostly upbeat about his latest White House appearance, describing his meeting with Trump as "warm". His optimism, however, appeared deliberate as he sought to avoid a repeat of his last Oval Office visit and convince his American hosts to embrace the European position on ending the war.

Round two. The last time Zelensky stepped into the Oval Office, he was humiliated by Trump who told him he was “gambling with WWIII”. Yesterday it was all smiles as Zelensky thanked the US leader for his support and Trump complimented the Ukrainian president on his suit.

Donald Trump met with Volodymyr Zelensky and a large group of European leaders who descended on the White House Monday to support Ukraine’s president, bracing for the possibility of another explosive series of meetings that could change the course of his country’s future.

A few of the leaders were said to have interrupted summer holidays to fly to the United States on less than 24 hours’ notice to meet with the Ukrainian leader.

How the meeting of so many leaders will work is unclear, and whether this show of solidarity might backfire if Trump feels threatened will also be closely watched

Volodymyr Zelensky delivered a zinger of a response to the White House reporter who criticised him for not wearing a suit earlier this year.
