Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is expected to meet US President Donald Trump at the White House on Tuesday, seeking additional American support against Russia. The meeting comes as the war enters its fifth year with Washington's mediation efforts yet to produce a breakthrough.

The visit follows an escalation in long-range strikes by both Kyiv and Moscow, underscoring how the conflict continues to intensify away from the front line as both capitals target infrastructure deeper inside each other's territory. Zelensky is expected to press for firmer commitments on air-defense systems and munitions.

The meeting will also test where the Trump administration's diplomatic push to end the war currently stands. The White House has not yet publicly detailed the agenda for the visit.
