President Donald Trump will meet with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy while in Turkey this week for the ‌NATO summit to make a ​renewed push to end the war in Ukraine, a senior U.S. official ⁠said on Sunday.

Trump is scheduled to ​arrive at the summit on Tuesday. His first ⁠meeting will be with summit host, Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan. Trump will also meet Syrian President Ahmed ‌al-Sharaa and hold a press conference, ​the White House ‌said.

A senior U.S. official who briefed reporters on ‌condition of anonymity about the trip said Trump will meet with Zelenskyy on Wednesday to discuss "how ⁠we can end ‌the war."

"The ⁠battlefield has clearly frozen over the last couple ⁠of months ⁠and neither side is making a lot of progress," ‌the official said. "The president feels a real sense of urgency to try to bring this to a ‌stop."

Trump ​will also ‌urge NATO allies to increase their defense spending, the official said.
