Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky met with U.S. Vice President JD Vance and key European leaders in Rome, just hours after Russia launched its largest drone attack on Ukraine. This high-stakes meeting comes ahead of a critical Trump-Putin call, aimed at discussing a ceasefire deal as the war continues to escalate. Zelensky briefed Vance and others on the stalled peace talks with Russia, highlighting the unrealistic demands made by Moscow. This marks the first encounter between Zelensky and Vance since a contentious meeting at the White House, underscoring the ongoing challenges in U.S.-Ukraine relations amidst the backdrop of recent military actions.
