G7 leaders to meet Zelensky as Trump signals possible Ukraine breakthrough
G7 leaders will hold talks with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Tuesday at the Evian summit. France 24 reports that US President Donald Trump suggested there may be room for progress after more than four years of war with Russia. Diplomats say the mood is cautious but more concrete than in recent weeks.
G7 leaders are due to hold talks with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Tuesday at the Evian summit, France 24 reports. Ahead of the meeting, US President Donald Trump suggested there could be progress in the war with Russia after more than four years of fighting.
Diplomatic sources say the shift in US tone has prompted other G7 capitals to coordinate a fresh round of common positions. France 24 says the agenda covers security guarantees underpinning a possible truce, the sanctions timeline and financing for Ukraine's reconstruction.
Kyiv officials say additional European backstops are also on the table. The outcome of the meeting matters for the trajectory of the war and for energy markets, with oil prices tracking the talks closely. None of this constitutes investment advice.
