18.08.2025 ⇢ The Washington Summit, Future Meeting Prepared
⌨President Zelensky's arrival in Washington for high-stakes meetings with President Trump dominated Ukrainian media's editorial focus. Early reports detailed ongoing ballistic missile and drone attacks on Kharkiv, resulting in rising casualties, including children, which continued as a persistent concern. Diplomatic discussions, building on previous days' talks of guarantees, centered on potential security assurances for Ukraine, akin to NATO's Article 5. The significant possibility of a trilateral meeting involving Putin was a key point of anticipation, with Trump later confirming he had begun preparing such a summit and suggesting a timeframe for the war's conclusion. Talks expanded to include European leaders, reflecting the broader international engagement. Minor military updates, including Ukraine's long-range 'Flamingo' missile and a pipeline strike, also surfaced, but the Washington summit consistently remained the primary story.
