Zelensky holds meeting with Trump

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said he decided to meet with Donald Trump on Friday because it was “very important” to keep the United States informed about next steps in Ukraine.

Zelensky said he hoped the support of the United States would be very strong regardless of who wins the election.
