Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky is expected at the White House on Tuesday for talks with US President Donald Trump, aiming to secure support against Russia. The visit comes as both Kyiv and Moscow ramp up long-range strikes, and diplomatic efforts launched by Washington remain stalled, more than four years on from Russia's full-scale invasion. Relations between Zelensky and Trump have been strained, but recent signs suggest a shift in tone from the US leader.

Why is Zelensky visiting the White House?

Zelensky is visiting the White House to secure Trump's support for Ukraine amidst ongoing conflict with Russia. Despite strained relations, recent indications suggest a more indulgent stance from Trump towards Zelensky.

What has been the history of relations between Zelensky and Trump?

Relations between Zelensky and Trump have been historically strained. Previous meetings saw heated exchanges, including an argument over the provision of Tomahawk cruise missiles. However, recent encounters have shown a change in tone from Trump, with words of encouragement and promises of support.

What are the current dynamics of the conflict between Ukraine and Russia?

The conflict between Ukraine and Russia has intensified with both sides increasing long-range strikes. Ukraine has targeted Russian oil depots and refineries, leading to a fuel crisis, while Russia has maintained its strikes and disrupted Ukrainian agricultural exports by sea.

What role is the US playing in the Ukraine-Russia conflict?

The US remains a major ally of Ukraine, providing intelligence and access to the Starlink satellite system. However, under Trump's administration, direct deliveries of US arms to Kyiv have largely ended in favor of the PURL programme, which allows Europeans to buy weapons and then supply them to Ukraine.
