Zelenskiy thanks Europe for its support as Kyiv seeks place at table with Trump and Putin

  • US President Donald Trump revealed plans for a meeting on August 15 in Alaska with Russian leader Vladimir Putin to discuss a resolution to the conflict in Ukraine.
  • The summit comes in the wake of Russia's large-scale military assault on Ukraine that began in early 2022 and ongoing disputes over territory, raising concerns in Kyiv and across Europe about being excluded from negotiations over peace.
  • European leaders and Ukraine demand any diplomatic solution must protect Ukraine's sovereignty, reject legal recognition of Russian control, and include robust security guarantees.
  • Strategic analyst Phillips P. O'Brien warned the Alaska meeting will likely be disastrous for Ukraine and Europe, while pro-Kremlin analyst Sergei Markov suggested possible territorial swaps favoring Russia.
  • The outcome will shape future peace efforts amid concerns that rewarding aggression undermines global security, and Ukraine insists any deal without its consent will be unworkable.
