Trump, Putin Set Alaska Summit for Ukraine Peace Deal

In a surprise announcement, President Donald Trump declared he will meet Vladimir Putin in Alaska on 15 August to negotiate ending Ukraine's war. Trump stated parties, including Ukraine's Zelenskiy, neared a ceasefire requiring significant territorial concessions. 'There'll be some swapping of territories to the betterment of both,' Trump told reporters Friday. However, President Zelenskiy firmly rejected ceding land Saturday. 'Ukrainians will not gift their land to the occupiers,' he emphasized via Telegram. Kremlin Confirms High-Stakes Talks Putin's aide Yuri Ushakov confirmed the summit, stating leaders will 'focus on discussing options for achieving long-term peaceful resolution.' He admitted the process would be 'challenging' but pledged active engagement. Zelenskiy warned any decisions excluding Ukraine undermine peace: 'They are stillborn. Unworkable. We need real peace.' His stance clashes with unverified Bloomberg reports suggesting Russia would keep occupied territories like Kherson. Trump recently threatened new sanctions against Moscow unless Putin halts fighting—the deadliest European conflict since WWII. The White House imposed a 25% tariff on Indian goods Wednesday over Russian oil imports. Allies Express Cautious Hope Poland's Prime Minister Donald Tusk reported 'signals' a conflict freeze 'is closer than further away' after talks with Zelenskiy, noting that Ukraine's leader was 'very cautious but optimistic' about European involvement in peace planning. Accepting Russia's annexation of roughly 20% of Ukraine's territory poses severe political risks for Zelenskiy's government. Experts like Tyson Barker predict Ukrainians would immediately reject such terms. Meanwhile, Putin claims four occupied regions despite lacking full control. The Alaska meeting tests Trump's push to mend Russia ties against Ukraine's unwavering sovereignty demands. Its success hinges on bridging this fundamental divide. Short link : Post Views: 6

Zelensky warns against ‘decisions without Ukraine'
