US President Donald Trump expressed respect for Ukrainian President Zelensky ahead of their White House talks, stating he couldn't believe he had once called him a "dictator." Trump predicted a productive meeting, with Zelensky seeking security guarantees amid the ongoing war. The US is poised to sign a deal giving it access to Ukraine's rare earth minerals, which Trump suggested would deter future Russian attacks. Meanwhile, UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer emphasized the UK's readiness to deploy peacekeeping forces post-war, contingent on US involvement. Despite Russia's refusal to concede territory, efforts to end the war continue amid complex diplomatic discussions.
