Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and U.S. President Donald Trump are planning to meet on Wednesday (June 25, 2025) on the sidelines of the NATO summit in The Hague, a senior source in the Ukrainian presidency told AFP.
The war-time leader has been a central figure at recent summits but given his fractious relationship with Trump, Zelensky has not been invited to the main working session with NATO members.

“The teams are finalising the details” of the meeting, the source told AFP, adding that the talks were scheduled for the “early afternoon” in the Netherlands.
The source added that the discussion would focus on Ukraine’s “purchase of a defence package, a large part of which consists of air defence systems”.
