President Trump hosted Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and European leaders at the White House on Monday, an event the U.S. president called "a very good, early step" to possibly resolve the war in Ukraine.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy gushed with gratitude toward President Donald Trump during an Oval Office meeting.

Zelenskyy's previous White House visit ended in acrimony. This time, both he and Trump seemed determined to avoid a public debacle.
