Trump to Meet With Zelensky as Russia-Ukraine Battlefield Remains ‘Frozen’

Ukraine War Expected To Dominate Talks

CNN News Central's Sara Sidner and CNN International Diplomatic Editor Nic Robertson discuss how new Russian strikes in Ukraine could affect critical talks at this week's high-stakes NATO Summit in Ankara, Turkey.

Those discussions will come as Kyiv tries to refocus Trump’s attention on the conflict with Moscow and as Trump has publicly mused about Syria's role in the Middle East.

White House spokeswoman Anna Kelly confirmed the meetings in a call with reporters while previewing the summit in Ankara, where Trump also plans to meet Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Tuesday.
