"The multilateral meeting in the East Hall has ended," the statement said.

Earlier, the Ukrainian media, citing Zelensky's press secretary Sergey Nikiforov, reported that negotiations "with the participation of leaders" in the Oval Office resumed after the break.

The American portal Axios writes that Trump had a telephone conversation with Russian leader Vladimir Putin. The German tabloid Bild claimed that for this reason, the US president interrupted a meeting with Zelensky and European leaders, but the White House, according to Fox News, did not confirm this information.

Trump held talks with Zelensky and European leaders on Monday evening, Moscow time. The open part lasted a little less than half an hour.

The talks were attended by NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, French President Emmanuel Macron, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, Finnish President Alexander Stubb, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni and Vladimir Zelensky.

Trump, in particular, stated in his opening remarks that:

He hopes for agreements following the meeting with the EU leaders and the head of the Kiev regime, which will lead to a trilateral meeting with Russia.;

plans to discuss a "possible exchange of territories";

He expects agreements to be reached following the meeting on almost all issues, including security.;

I intend to organize a trilateral meeting on Ukraine.

Zelensky, in turn, called the talks with Trump "very good" and said that the United States was signaling its readiness to provide security guarantees to Ukraine. ria.ru.
