US President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy are scheduled to meet in Washington on Tuesday, a White House official said on Friday.
A Ukrainian source said Zelenskiy was interested in traveling to the United States , but his team was waiting for official confirmation of Trump's schedule from the White House.
Representatives for Zelenskiy did not immediately reply to a Reuters request for comment on the planned meeting.
Earlier on Friday, right-wing activist and Trump ally Laura Loomer interviewed Zelenskiy and said he had told her he would likely be in the United States next week for a trip that would include a meeting with Trump.
Loomer, in a post on X, added that Zelenskiy said he would attend the funeral for the U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham, who died earlier this month.
Graham was a major supporter of Ukraine, traveling there 10 times since the Russian invasion. He pushed for sanctions on Russia as well as U.S. backing for Kyiv.
