BBC Reveals Lineup of U.S., Ukrainian Delegations for Washington Talks

U.S. President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy are set to hold talks at the White House on Monday evening, with details of their respective delegations confirmed by officials.

The Gaze reports this, referring to BBC.

The White House has verified that five senior officials will join Trump in the Oval Office: Vice President J.D. Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles, Trump’s special envoy Steve Witkoff, and Special Representative for Ukraine Keith Kellogg. 

Zelenskyy will be accompanied by his chief of staff Andrii Yermak and National Security, Defense Council head Rustem Umerov, Ambassador of Ukraine to the United States Oksana Markarova, Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Serhii Kyslytsya, and Deputy Head of the Presidential Office Pavlo Palisa.

The bilateral talks follow a preparatory meeting earlier in the day at the Ukrainian Embassy in Washington, where Zelenskyy met European leaders including European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, Finnish President Alexander Stubb, NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte, and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer. Leaders of France, Germany and Italy were also expected to attend.

Earlier Monday, Zelenskyy held talks with Kellogg at the Hay-Adams Hotel near the White House, ahead of his one-on-one meeting with Trump and subsequent expanded discussions with European leaders. 

As The Gaze previously reported, Ukrainian political analyst Oleh Lisnyy forecast both negative and positive scenarios for the Trump–Zelenskyy meeting, ranging from a breakdown in talks to a constructive dialogue supported by European leaders.
