President Donald Trump presented Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky with a large map showing the 20% of the country under Russian control.
During the Oval Office meeting on Monday, a large map depicting the current battlefield status of the war was presented to Zelensky.
The eastern part of the map was shaded in pink to represent the nearly 20% of the country under control by Putin's forces after the nearly four-year war.
The map may play a roll in pressuring Zelensky to consider transferring territory in order to seal a peace agreement.
Zelensky arrived to the White House for historic talks with President Donald Trump and aimed at ending the Ukraine-Russia war.
Zelensky was joined by UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, French President Emmanuel Macron, Italy's Giorgia Meloni, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, Germany’s Friedrich Merz and more.
The Ukrainian president appeared without a tie for the meeting. It was a bold statement after his appearance in military fatigues stirred controversy during his last Oval Office visit six months ago.

Pure BS .
You think this pack of bs will justify The Monster Putins non stop invasions .
Hello Putin first invaded Crimea which was part of Ukraine .
Show us the facts and not from TASS or other
Russian Troll propaganda pushed here .
How much is Russia now ?
Zelensky can reject and push Ruzzia out of its territory.
Never too late to start another offensive.
Hilarious since it’s spelled BEGGAR.
After World War I, there was “the great exchange” during which about 1.6 million people were forced to change countries. Muslims living in Greece moved back to Turkey. Orthodox Christians in Turkey, except in Istanbul, moved to Greece. On a tour in Turkey in 2009, our outstanding tour guide’s Grandmother had been forced to move from Greece to Turkey. She herself was Muslim, but had gone to high school in California and spoke perfect English.
You are welcome to believe your favorite sources about what happened, it’s of no importance, water under the bridge. Russia has made an offer to end it and I hope it ends. The details of the agreement are for the parties to worry over and decide.
“ Trump should have slapped yapper Merz for yapping ceasefire-no future invites for him”
100% agree. Merz thought he was a lot more important than he really is.
This I believe is a blurry version of the official Munich Agreement map:

Give it a rest Putin Groupie .
Move over to that hell for your Putie .
We remove there nuclear weapons with a promise to protect in 1994.
Donnie and his sleazy real estate developer pal Witkoff
ignored that promise .
Gee , I wonder why ?
Future real estate plans in Moscow.
Until Putin the Maniac invades again .
Which you would cheer on again .
Donald Chamberlain Trump killed his presidency .
That was then. This is now.
Tell your Zelensky to get off his azz and take his land back. NOW.
I don’t cheer anything about this situation except it’s ending.
You are just angry because the side you took lost.
I don’t have a side, it feels like a civil war so I don’t care, let the weapons merchants figure it out.
It’s the only solution that makes sense.
And, pre-emptively, there are no cogent comparisons to Nazi Germany and the Sudetenland. So, Freepers and Zeepers, please don’t offer any.
That is all. As you were.
******************
But that is the ace card the neocon ideologues always play.
Every diplomatic situation is pre WW2 appeasement of Adolph Hitler.
They’ll always find some piece of foreign real estate to get Americans to die for........... they’re good at that.
Brits.
“The USA were already supposedly promised to protect Ukraine when the Clintons took their nuclear weapons .”
The nuclear weapons in Ukraine were created by and paid for by the CCCP, not the Ukrainian SSR.
When Ukraine was created, the nuclear weapons within Ukraine were on bases manned by men commanded by and paid by the government in Moscow.
Eglin Air Force Base is in Florida. The F-35s there were bought by the US government and are in the custody of US government personnel.
It took three “journalists” to write this, and none caught that.
It stood out like a sore thumb to you and I.
Did the left (and Zeepers) GAF about the 14,000 ppl killed in the Donetsk between 2014 and 2022? Many of the casualties were civilians who died horrific deaths at the hands of the Ukrainian Army. A referendum in 2014 in the area called for autonomy from Kyiv and received overwhelming support. Why do you want to deny their wishes?
The side .
The USA government promised in 1994 to protect Ukraine against Russia .
Do you not stand with the US side or are a Butcher Putin Groupie too siding againt the USA and it allies .
You let your mask drop Putie groupie .
You forgot to mention how Russia was promised no NATO countries on their border if they gave up Ukraine. We reneged on our guarantee, so you can’t hold Russia to a higher standard when they break their promise.
When will you be joining up? You believe in the cause so much that you want Ukraine to send more men into the meat grinder, so you deserve to be leading them into battle.
