Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is working to arrange a meeting with U.S. President Donald Trump at this month’s Group of Seven summit in Canada, Zelenskyy’s Chief of Staff Andriy Yermak said.
One of the aims of a visit to Washington earlier this week by a delegation from Kyiv was to prepare for a potential Trump-Zelenskyy meeting at the G7 gathering set for June 15-17 in Kananaskis, Alberta, Yermak said on a national broadcast late Friday.
“Our visit was part of the preparation, including for what I believe will be a meeting between President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and President Trump on the sidelines of the G7 summit in Canada, which is taking place in 10 days’ time,” Yermak said. “This was a key step in preparing for this conversation.”
