In a dramatic turn of events, Donald Trump told his Ukrainian counterpart, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, that he is ready to join a three-way meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin. This extraordinary crisis meeting took place at the White House on Monday, Aug. 18, where Trump hosted Zelenskyy alongside leading figures from Europe to explore fresh pathways toward ending Russia’s conflict with Ukraine.
The invitation follows Trump’s earlier one-on-one session with Putin that alarmed both Ukraine and European capitals over the potential terms of any peace deal. Analysts say the proposed summit could reshape diplomatic dynamics, offering a high-stakes opportunity to test whether direct talks can break the deadlock after months of stalled negotiations.
For young global citizens and business leaders alike, this move highlights the growing role of bold diplomacy in an interconnected world. As debates heat up online and across parliaments in G20 nations, all eyes will be on whether this three-way summit can deliver a viable roadmap for lasting peace—or risk further dividing key stakeholders.
