Trump Hosts Zelenskyy, Pushes Ceasefire at Frozen Battle Lines

President Trump met Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy at the White House and pressed him to accept a ceasefire that would freeze the conflict along current Russian-occupied territory. Trump argued that ending active combat would save lives even without restoring Ukraine's pre-2022 borders. Zelenskyy resisted territorial concessions but sought continued US military and financial support commitments.
