Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has left the White House after meeting with President Donald Trump and several US cabinet officials. Zelensky is reported to have left the White House at around 3:57 p.m. (Washington time).
The Ukrainian president stayed at the White House for about 2.5 hours and was escorted out by Chief of Protocol Monica Crowley.
Shortly before the Ukrainian president's departure, the White House shared a black-and-white image of Trump and Zelensky together this afternoon.

"We're not losing people, we're not spending money, we're getting paid for the ammunition and missiles... we've made a very good deal with NATO... that's not what we're in this for. We're in it to save thousands of lives..." pic.twitter.com/4BXZXiuY9M
The post was accompanied by a caption, which is a quote from the US president from the roundtable talks a few hours ago.
A Ukrainian official said Zelensky was virtually briefing European leaders after his meeting with President Donald Trump. He added that during the meeting, which lasted more than two hours, Zelensky showed Trump several maps.
But what is worth noting is that although today's meeting was expected to be decisive and of particular importance, as the possibility of providing Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine would be discussed, it left many questions unanswered.
President Trump somehow dismissed the idea of sending long-range missiles to Kiev. He said he would talk to the Ukrainian president about the Tomahawks, but warned that the long-range missiles could cause significant escalation in a war he would rather see ended.
This sentence implied that Vladimir Putin's phone call the day before had taken its toll on Trump, and Zelensky would likely come away empty-handed from this meeting. Despite Zelensky's efforts and flattery, the Tomahawks appear unlikely to be delivered to Ukraine for at least another two weeks, until the next Trump-Putin meeting in Hungary.
Everything will depend on this meeting. If Putin again maneuvers Trump to buy time, the American president will most likely approve the sending of Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine. But until then, we can say that Zelensky failed again in the White House./ Pamphlet
