U.S. President Donald Trump met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on the sidelines of the G7 summit in Évian, France, urging Russia to negotiate an end to the war in Ukraine. The meeting, described by Trump as "very good," focused on peacebuilding and security for Ukraine, with discussions on military support and diplomatic efforts. Trump also spoke with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Sunday, emphasizing that both leaders should seek a resolution. 'Russia should make a deal,' Trump told reporters, noting the heavy losses on both sides. Zelenskyy confirmed the meeting on X (formerly Twitter), stating that substantive discussions were underway. Trump also indicated that the U.S. is close to finalizing an Iran deal, which he believes will allow him to focus more on the Ukraine conflict. 'We were focused on Iran, that's going to be in the rearview mirror,' he said, adding that he would meet Zelenskyy again later in the day. The G7 session included a working group on Ukraine's air defense and diplomatic advancements, with Trump signaling a shift in focus toward resolving the war after the Iran agreement.
