KYIV, Aug 16 (Bernama-dpa) -- Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky will travel to Washington on Monday for talks with US President Donald Trump, Zelensky announced on Saturday morning on Telegram following a phone call with Trump, reported German news agency (dpa).
"I intend to discuss all the details about the end of the killings and the end of the war with President Trump in Washington on Monday," Zelensky wrote on Telegram, referring to the Russian invasion of his country.
He said he supports Trump's proposal for a trilateral meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin. "Ukraine emphasises that key issues can be discussed at the leadership level, and that a trilateral format is appropriate for this," he added.
Zelensky advocated for the inclusion of European representatives, especially on the issue of security guarantees for his country.
Zelensky and Trump had earlier had a phone conversation lasting about an hour. European leaders were later connected to the conversation, which lasted more than an hour and a half in total.
Trump informed Zelensky and the European leaders about the "main discussion points" with Putin.
