Trump tells Zelenskyy that Putin wants more of Ukraine, urges Kyiv make a deal
Trump conveyed Putin's demand for Ukraine to cede all of Donetsk and endorsed pursuing peace talks without a ceasefire, shifting diplomatic pressure onto Ukrainian President Zelenskyy.
- President Donald Trump met Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska on Friday for a three-hour summit that did not produce a peace deal for Ukraine.

- Trump said, “I think we're pretty close to a deal” but added, “Ukraine has to agree to it” and acknowledged, “Maybe they'll say 'no.'”
- Zelenskyy is scheduled to hold discussions with Trump and European leaders in Washington on Monday, highlighting ongoing uncertainty about Ukraine's future.
