Trump added that he also held talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin and apprised him of the events unfolded in Washington

In a post on Truth Social, he said, "I had a very good meeting with distinguished guests, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, of Ukraine, President Emmanuel Macron, of France, President Alexander Stubb, of Finland, Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, of Italy, Prime Minister Keir Starmer, of the United Kingdom, Chancellor of the Federal Republic of Germany, Friedrich Merz, President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, and Secretary General of NATO, Mark Rutte, in the White House, which ended in a further meeting in the Oval Office. During the meeting we discussed Security Guarantees for Ukraine, which Guarantees would be provided by the various European Countries, with a coordination with the United States of America. Everyone is very happy about the possibility of PEACE for Russia/Ukraine," the post read

The post further said, "At the conclusion of the meetings, I called President Putin, and began the arrangements for a meeting, at a location to be determined, between President Putin and President Zelenskyy. After that meeting takes place, we will have a Trilat, which would be the two Presidents, plus myself. Again, this was a very good, early step for a War that has been going on for almost four years. Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and Special Envoy Steve Witkoff, are coordinating with Russia and Ukraine. Thank you for your attention to this matter!"

The White House, too, in a statement said, "We have had a very successful day so far. We are all working for the same goal. We want to stop the killing and resolve this"

Zelenskyy said that the group touched upon several sensitive matters

"I think that we had a very good conversation with President Trump... it was really good. We spoke about very sensitive points," he said

NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte thanked Trump for his initiative to broker peace in the region

"I really want to thank you, President of the United States, dear Donald, for the fact that you, as I said before, broke the deadlock basically with President Putin by starting the dialogue... From there, here we are today," he said

President of Finland, Alexander Stubb noted that they have had more progress on the Russia-Ukraine war than they had in the last three-and-a-half years
