Zelenskyy and Trump have held talks on the sidelines of the G7 summit in France.
Zelenskyy posted photos of the meeting on social media, writing that “it is always important to coordinate positions.”
Rustem Umerov, Ukraine’s National Security and Defense Council chief, and U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio also took part, the photos showed. In one image, the two leaders sat close enough that their knees nearly touched.
The encounter between the two presidents “was in the context of the general meeting at the summit,” Zelenskyy’s communications adviser Dmytro Lytvyn told reporters, suggesting a separate meeting would take place later.
