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.

- 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.
