A joint statement from European leaders said that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who was not invited to the summit, should be present during any future talks, and that "it will be up to Ukraine to make decisions on its territory," according to NBC News. Ukraine's allies in Europe also expressed concern that Trump was moving closer to Putin's position following his meeting. The lack of an immediate ceasefire allows Russia to continue its fighting in Ukraine without the threat of punishment from the United States or its allies. Zelenskyy said he plans to meet with Trump to "discuss all [of] the details regarding ending the killings and the war," according to a post on Telegram. Trump, who said he spoke with Zelenskyy and other European leaders overnight, is poised to meet with the Ukrainian leader in the Oval Office on Monday afternoon, he said in a Truth Social post. "If all works out, we will then schedule a meeting with President Putin," Trump also said. Putin said in a statement on Saturday that his meeting with Trump was "very frank, meaningful and, in my opinion, this brings us closer to the necessary decisions." Despite the lack of a resolution, Russian officials signaled victory following the talks. "A new European and international security architecture is on the agenda and everyone must accept it," Andrei Klishas, a Russian senator, said, according to the Washington Post.
