A day of significant events has arrived on the political calendars of the USA and Ukraine. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and US President Donald Trump are scheduled to meet today, July 28. The event is planned for the second half of the day Kyiv time, coinciding with the start of the workday in Washington.
Details of the Schedule and Format of Negotiations
Information about the meeting is confirmed by data from Deutsche Welle journalist Mikhail Komadovsky, who published a screenshot of Donald Trump's official schedule on the social network X. According to the document, negotiations between the leaders of the two countries will begin at 9:30 Eastern Time (16:30 Kyiv time).
Special attention is paid to the format of the event: press access to the negotiations will be closed. This means the meeting will take place in a confidential mode, without the presence of journalists and cameras, which is often practiced when discussing delicate issues of international diplomacy.
Dense Schedule of the Day in Washington
The meeting with the President of Ukraine will be just one item on Donald Trump's packed daily agenda. Immediately following the negotiations with Volodymyr Zelenskyy, at 11:00 local time (18:00 Kyiv time), another closed-door meeting will take place — with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Thus, within a few hours in one location, leaders of three key countries playing an important role in modern geopolitics will be concentrated. Both meetings will take place without media participation, emphasizing the private nature of the topics being discussed.
Joint Participation in the Farewell Ceremony
The conclusion of this busy day will be the leaders' participation in a mourning ceremony. As noted by Mikhail Komadovsky, after the conclusion of business meetings, Donald Trump, as well as Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Benjamin Netanyahu, are expected to attend the funeral of Senator Lindsey Graham.
This fact unites the leaders within the framework of one official event, demonstrating diplomatic protocol and respect for the memory of the departed politician. Joint presence at the funeral will be the final point in a series of important contacts of the day.
