US EditionRussia won’t commit to Putin-Zelenskyy meeting
Russian officials categorically reject any NATO military presence in Ukraine as part of security guarantees, complicating peace talks endorsed by Western leaders at the August 18 summit.

- President Donald Trump is working on a peace framework offering U.S. security guarantees for Ukrainian territorial concessions, while European leaders back strong guarantees and ceasefires despite Russian MFA Spokesperson Maria Zakharova rejecting NATO contingents in Ukraine.
- On August 17 to 18, Russian forces launched four Iskander-M ballistic missiles and 140 Shahed-type and decoy drones overnight, while Ukrainian forces downed 88 Shahed drones during strikes that hit 25 locations and killed three in Zaporizhzhia City.
- The Kremlin's refusal to commit threatens President Donald Trump's proposed timeline for a Putin-Zelensky meeting, while Sen. Lindsey Graham indicated Trump is ready to `crush` Russia's economy if talks fail.
- The Financial Times reported Ukraine's plan to buy $100 billion in U.S. weapons with European financing and propose a $50 billion drone deal, while observers note Russia's recruitment strain and a 35.8 billion ruble budget increase.
