Trump doesn’t want ‘wasted meeting’ with Putin as he confirms talks on Ukraine war are off for now

  • On Tuesday, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said Russia opposes an immediate ceasefire, arguing it would contradict agreements made by the two presidents in Alaska.
  • Trump's stop-and-go search for a peace deal has included shifting stances throughout the year, initially pressing Kyiv for concessions before growing frustrated with Vladimir Putin, Russian President, and last month reversing his position on land concessions.
  • European and Ukrainian leaders said they oppose Kyiv relinquishing land and plan to use billions in frozen Russian assets to fund Ukraine’s war effort ahead of Friday’s Coalition of the Willing meeting in London.
  • A planned meeting in Budapest was paused after a call Monday between Marco Rubio, U.S. Secretary of State, and Sergey Lavrov, delaying a Trump-Putin meeting and easing European concerns.
  • If frozen at the front line, analysts warn the conflict could fester, with occupied areas of Ukraine offering Moscow a springboard, while Volodymyr Zelenskyy urges sustained pressure until Putin is ready for peace.
