Zelensky Says Putin-Trump Summit Should Focus On Ceasefire In Ukraine

The summit aims to secure an immediate ceasefire in Ukraine amid stalled negotiations, with Ukraine refusing to withdraw from Donbas, officials said.

  • U.S. President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin are scheduled to meet for a summit on Friday in Anchorage, Alaska, amid the ongoing war in Ukraine.
  • Ahead of the summit, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy held virtual discussions with European leaders and Trump to urge an immediate ceasefire and to coordinate pressure on Russia.
  • Zelenskyy indicated that Putin is exerting pressure across all fronts in Ukraine and firmly dismissed Putin's proposal for Ukraine to pull back from about 30% of the Donetsk area it currently holds as part of a ceasefire agreement.
  • German Chancellor Friedrich Merz indicated that significant outcomes might result from the Anchorage meeting, emphasizing the need to safeguard crucial European and Ukrainian security concerns, while Trump characterized the summit as an opportunity to gauge Putin’s intentions.
  • Zelenskyy insisted that sanctions must continue and intensify should Russia refuse to agree to a ceasefire, stressing that Ukraine will not relinquish any territory under its control, as making concessions would be both unconstitutional and pose a risk of enabling future Russian aggression.
