Trump also spoke with Vladimir Putin, Russia's President, before and after this meeting.Zelenskyy is thinking big. He wants U. S. troops in Ukraine as part of a peace deal. He says this would make Ukraine more secure. But, he knows it's up to the U. S. to decide. There's been talk of a rift between the U. S. and Ukraine. But Zelenskyy says it's not true. He's been in touch with American officials. They're discussing their next steps. Meanwhile, the war goes on. Russia launched drones at Ukraine. Many were shot down, but some hit their targets.
