Trump Calls For Full Peace Agreement To End Ukraine War
U.S. President Donald Trump (R) greets Russian President Vladimir Putin as he arrives at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson on August 15, 2025 in Anchorage, Alaska. The two leaders are meeting for peace talks aimed at ending the war in Ukraine. Credit - Andrew Harnik—Getty Images President Donald Trump has called for talks aimed at achieving a full peace agreement to end the war in Ukraine, rather than a ceasefire, in a major shift that puts him at odds with U.S. allies in Europe and Kyiv. "It was determined by all that the best way to end the horrific war between Russia and Ukraine is to go directly to a Peace Agreement, which would end the war, and not a mere Ceasefire Agreement, which often times do not hold up," Trump posted on Truth Social following a summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska on Friday. Trump's position on negotiations over the war now aligns more closely with the Kremlin, which has been pushing for a comprehensive agreement instead of a ceasefire. Ukraine and European leaders have insisted that peace talks cannot take place without a ceasefire agreement first being agreed upon. Read more: Why Trump's Summit in Alaska Cannot End Putin's War in Ukraine Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said on Saturday that he had spoken to Trump following the summit and emphasized the need for a ceasefire, but did not outright counter Trump's desire for a full peace deal: 'A real peace must be achieved, one that will be lasting, not just another pause between Russian invasions,' Zelensky wrote on X, though he continued. 'Killings must stop as soon as possible, the fire must cease both on the battlefield and in the sky, as well as against our port infrastructure.' Speaking alongside Zelensky at a press conference on Wednesday, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz also emphasized the 'right sequence' for negotiations: 'We want a ceasefire at the very beginning, and then a framework agreement must be drawn up.' Talks will continue on Monday afternoon when Zelensky visits the White House. The hope, Trump says, is to set up another call with Putin after that meeting. "If all works out, we will then schedule a meeting with President Putin. Potentially, millions of people's lives will be saved," Trump added in his post. Trump's shift comes after the 'high-stakes' meeting between Putin and Trump at a summit in Alaska— the first in-person encounter between the two leaders since 2019—which ended with no concrete move toward a ceasefire deal, despite this being a main aim of the meeting.

Video: Florida opening another illegal immigrant detention center after Alligator Alcatraz success
Florida is preparing to open another illegal immigrant detention facility following the recent establishment of 'Alligator Alcatraz.' Florida officials have confirmed that the new facility, which will be called the 'Deportation Depot,' will initially be capable of holding 1,300 illegal immigrants. Announcing the new illegal immigrant detention facility on Thursday, Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-Fla.) said, 'We are authorizing and will be soon opening this new illegal immigration detention, processing, and deportation facility here in North Florida. We are calling this the Deportation Depot.' In a Thursday press release, the Florida governor noted that the Deportation Depot will be housed at the Baker Correctional Institution, which is located in Sanderson, Florida. According to Fox News, while the new detention facility, which has been dormant since 2021, will initially be able to hold 1,300 beds for illegal immigrants, the facility could eventually be expanded to hold 2,000 beds. As part of Thursday's announcement, DeSantis emphasized that officials do not merely want to 'house people indefinitely' at the Deportation Depot and Alligator Alcatraz, but to 'process, stage, and then return illegal aliens to their home country.'

'We know that this is an important national priority, not only of President Trump, but of the American people. Of all the issues in the election, I can tell you, this immigration and border issue was either the top or right near the top on all people's minds, and so we have identified this location.' DeSantis explained that the new Deportation Depot facility will feature the same services that are offered at Alligator Alcatraz and that the costs associated with the new facility will be reimbursed by the federal government. In Thursday's press release, DeSantis said the development of another illegal immigrant detention facility in Florida builds on the success of the Alligator Alcatraz facility in the Everglades. DeSantis added, 'We'll enforce the law, we'll hold the line, and we will keep delivering results.' The governor's office emphasized that Florida is 'setting the standard' for how individual states can work with President Donald Trump's administration to protect American citizens from the 'scourge of illegal immigration.'

Key takeaways from Trump's summit with Putin and dramatic ceasefire reversal
The highly-anticipated summit between President Donald Trump and Russian leader Vladimir Putin in Alaska on Friday concluded earlier than expected, with an awkward press appearance and no formal deal. But it marked a PR victory for Putin on the world stage — and, in a surprise announcement hours later, Trump dropped his demand for a ceasefire, saying Russia and Ukraine should start agreeing on a final peace deal instead.
