President Donald Trump said the United States “will be involved” in Ukraine’s future security and stressed that American backing for Kyiv is “never the end of the road,” even if current efforts to broker a peace agreement with Moscow stall. Trump made the pledge during an Oval Office meeting on Monday with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, held three days after the U.S. leader met Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska. Zelenskyy, joined in Washington by several European heads of state, thanked Trump for his “personal efforts” to halt the war, while calling for a “solid and lasting peace.” The White House talks are part of a broader diplomatic push that includes a multilateral session later in the day with French President Emmanuel Macron, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz and Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni. European Union leaders plan a follow-up videoconference on Tuesday to assess progress. Trump’s remarks signal continued U.S. engagement in Ukraine’s defense after months of speculation that Washington might scale back military and financial assistance. No new aid package was announced, but the president said there would be “a lot of help,” underscoring that American support remains conditional on achieving a negotiated end to Russia’s invasion.
