Russia's Medvedev Says ‘Coalition of the Willing' Failed to Outplay Trump
"The anti-Russian warmongering Coalition of the Willing failed to outplay @POTUS on his turf," Medvedev said in English on X. "Europe thanked & sucked up to him."
Medvedev said the question was "what tune" Zelenskiy would play "about guarantees & territories back home, once he's put on his green military uniform again."
Trump told Zelenskiy on Monday that the United States would help guarantee Ukraine's security in any deal to end the war in Ukraine, though the extent of any assistance was not immediately clear.

Trump rules out sending US troops to enforce potential peace deal in Ukraine
WASHINGTON — US President Donald Trump has ruled out sending American troops to help enforce a potential peace deal in Ukraine, despite him expressing an openness to the idea on Monday.. In a phone interview on Fox News this morning, Trump was asked: 'What kind of assurances do you feel like you have, going forward, past this Trump administration, that it won't be American boots on the ground defending (Ukraine's) border?' 'Well, you have my assurance, and I'm president,' Trump responded. A White House official confirmed Tuesday that Trump is 'emphatic' about not sending US troops to protect Ukraine. But, that person added, there are other ways for the US to ensure Kyiv is protected. The official added that conversations regarding commitments on security guarantees are ongoing, and the specifics of what that will look like will continue to be the subject of negotiations between the US, its European allies and Ukraine. Foreign leaders want to know what resources Trump will commit to ensure that, once a potential peace deal is reached, Russia isn't able to regroup and go after more territory down the road. Trump said Tuesday that he still believes European countries are the 'first line of defense' when it comes to Russian aggression in Ukraine, but that the US will be involved in helping to secure the context: Trump was elected in part on a promise to keep American troops out of foreign conflicts, and even some members of his own administration have advocated for a vastly reduced US role in the Ukraine war.

Putin may not want to make a deal on ending Ukraine war, says Trump
US President Donald Trump said today, Aug. 19, he hoped Russian President Vladimir Putin would move forward toward ending the war in Ukraine, noting that it is possible the Russian leader did not want to make a deal. 'We are going to find out about President Putin in the next couple of weeks ... It is possible that he does not want to make a deal,' Trump told Fox News, adding that Putin could face a 'rough situation' if he did not cooperate in the peace process. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky hailed yesterday's extraordinary summit at the White House with Trump as a 'significant step' towards ending Europe's deadliest conflict in 80 years and towards setting up a trilateral meeting with Putin and the US president in the coming weeks. However, against the backdrop of Zelenskyy's meeting with Trump and a delegation of European leaders in Washington, Russia launched 270 drones and 10 missiles into Ukraine, of which 30 drones and six missiles were intercepted or suppressed — the largest overnight barrage for weeks, Ukraine's air force reported.

EU's Costa: Ukraine's membership process must go forward
European Council President Antonio Costa said on Tuesday the process to make Ukraine a member of the European Union needs to advance and Europe has to be part of any peace negotiations alongside Ukraine, Russia and the United States. Costa, who debriefed council members about Monday's talks in Washington via a video call from Lisbon, told reporters that although there was much to be done and no guarantees of success, the very possibility of a bilateral meeting between Ukraine's Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Russian President Vladimir Putin was 'in itself fairly positive.'
