  • Putin seeks NATO guarantees that Ukraine will not join and demands political changes in Ukraine to restore Moscow's influence, while Trump has shown sympathy toward Russia's position.
  • Trump granted Kyiv only limited Patriot missile defenses, noted by Republican leaders Paul Ryan and John McCain who condemned his remarks accusing Zelensky of risking World War III.
  • The summit may allow Putin to sway Trump toward accepting Russia's demands, which could affect Ukraine's future sovereignty and regional security.
