US President Donald Trump has not scheduled a separate bilateral meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy during the upcoming G7 summit set to take place in Evian-les-Bains, France, from 15 to 17 June 2026. While no dedicated one-on-one session has been arranged, administration officials have confirmed that President Trump will participate in a broader working session that includes the Ukrainian leader.
Diplomatic Engagement And Summit Agenda
Senior US officials briefing reporters on 13 June 2026 stated that President Trump is scheduled to hold bilateral meetings with the leaders of France, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Egypt, and India during the summit. Despite the absence of a private consultation with President Zelenskyy, officials have emphasised the importance of ongoing multilateral discussions regarding the conflict in Ukraine.
“President Trump will participate in a working session with G7 leaders and President Zelensky of Ukraine,” a senior US administration official said.
Context For The Diplomatic Schedule
The G7 summit serves as a primary forum for addressing global security, economic stability, and international cooperation. According to reporting from international outlets, US administration officials have suggested that Russian battlefield gains in the region have “more or less stopped,” providing a backdrop for the upcoming discussions.
Additional reporting indicates that European leaders are currently attempting to coordinate a unified position to pressure the US regarding potential peace negotiation strategies with Russia. The focus remains on strategic alignment among international partners, with one official noting, “We want the war to end as quickly as possible.”
The two leaders are expected to share a platform during the joint working session scheduled for 16 June 2026 to discuss the future of the conflict and international support measures.
