News of the trip came immediately after the latest talks in Washington between President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
This move is considered a turning point in relations between the US and Kyiv, which have passed through a phase of divergences and discussions about American engagement in the conflict.
Sources close to both sides indicate that Zelensky has lobbied to present support for Kyiv to Trump as being aligned with America’s strategic interests, suggesting that a peace achievement would be a major win for his administration.
Meanwhile, world press reports highlight that the American president has toughened his tone toward Russian leader Vladimir Putin and appears more receptive to the advances Ukrainian forces are making on the ground.
However, not everyone is convinced; adherents of the “America First” platform continue to voice doubts about a prolonged US commitment in favor of Ukraine.
