U.S. President Donald Trump said in a Truth Social post late Sunday that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy "can end the war with Russia almost immediately" if he is willing to accept two key conditions: abandoning Ukraine’s bid for NATO membership and foregoing any attempt to reclaim Russian-occupied Crimea. The statement, issued on the eve of Zelenskyy’s visit to the White House, underscores the terms Trump believes should frame a settlement of the three-and-a-half-year conflict. Trump wrote that there would be "no getting back" Crimea—annexed by Moscow in 2014—and "NO GOING INTO NATO BY UKRAINE," adding that "some things never change." Zelenskyy is due in Washington on Monday for bilateral talks with Trump followed by a multilateral session that will include seven European leaders and NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte. The gathering is expected to address security guarantees for Kyiv and broader peace efforts, but Trump’s public remarks signal a negotiating stance closely aligned with longstanding Russian demands.
