01 · THE DISPATCH

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and U.S. President Donald Trump met Tuesday on the sidelines of the G7 summit in France, as reported by Asaf Rozentzweig (N12). The in-person meeting follows a lengthy phone call between the two leaders on Sunday, during which Zelensky said he fully agreed with Trump's statements on Crimea and praised the U.S. president's leadership approach to the war.

As The Zioneer reported, Trump arrived in Geneva, Switzerland, on Monday ahead of the summit. Over recent days, administration officials had signaled that Trump would hold bilateral meetings with several leaders on the summit margins, though Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was not invited. The meeting with Zelensky materializes against the backdrop of ongoing U.S.-Iran deal negotiations, a subject that has also dominated much of the pre-summit diplomatic maneuvering. The substance of Tuesday's discussion has not yet been detailed.
