Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelenskyy will meet with top Pentagon officials in Kyiv on Thursday (November 20, 2025), his office said, as details emerge of a U.S. plan to end the war with Moscow on terms favourable to the Kremlin.
The meeting will take place a day after Donald Trump’s envoy Steve Witkoff skipped a meeting with Mr. Zelenskyy in Turkey, in a blow to Kyiv’s hopes to reinvigorate diplomacy and re-engage Washington in pressuring Russia to halt its invasion.

It also comes a day after a Russian strike killed at least 26 people in one of Moscow’s deadliest attacks on Ukraine this year.
A Pentagon delegation, headed by U.S. Army Secretary Daniel Driscoll, arrived in Kyiv on Wednesday (November 19, 2025).
