On Monday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is set to meet with US President Donald Trump at the White House for important peace talks. 

This meeting comes after Trump had a discussion with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska on Friday. 

During that conversation, Trump suggested on Sunday that a peace agreement might be close to being finalized, provided that Zelenskyy agrees to transfer the Donbas region in eastern Ukraine to Russian control. 

Although there was a lot of hope and anticipation before the meeting, nothing concrete was achieved in terms of a peace deal.
