Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said he plans to discuss the fate of eastern Ukraine's contested Donbas region and the future of the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant during the meeting.

Amid the ongoing Russia - Ukraine war, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky met with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney in Halifax on Saturday during a stopover before traveling to the United States for peace talks with President Donald Trump, according to the CBC.

Trump's 2025 peace agenda produced mostly positive results with new ceasefires in Gaza and other regions, but major conflicts like Ukraine remain unresolved.
