Trump says he has begun arrangements for face-to-face meeting between Putin and Ukraine’s Zelenskyy
- Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy wore a black suit designed by Viktor Anisimov during a White House meeting on August 18, 2025, with US President Donald Trump and European leaders.
- The meeting aimed to discuss a potential peace agreement as Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, ongoing since February 2022, continues with no clear resolution.
- Zelenskyy’s switch from his usual military-style attire to a tailored suit reflected preparation begun six months ago and symbolized a diplomatic approach, drawing media attention and praise.
- Brian Glenn, a White House correspondent, told Zelenskyy he looked "fabulous in that suit," which Trump echoed by saying, "I said the same thing" during the encounter.
- Although progress toward a peace deal appeared limited, Trump announced plans for a Zelensky-Putin summit and reaffirmed potential US security guarantees for Ukraine amid ongoing conflict.
