Trump-Putin summit live updates: Trump says he thinks Putin and Zelenskyy 'will make peace'
President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin head to Alaska on Friday for a high-stakes summit as the U.S. seeks a ceasefire in the Russia-Ukraine war. One key party who will not be in attendance Friday at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson in Anchorage, Alaska, is Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. Trump said Thursday during a press conference that he hopes the summit will lead to a second meeting that would include Zelenskyy. "We have a meeting with President Putin tomorrow. I think it's going to be a good meeting, but the more important meeting will be the second meeting that we're having. We're going to have a meeting with President Putin, President Zelenskyy, myself and maybe we'll bring some of the European leaders, maybe not," Trump said.

Friday Briefing: Ukraine's Fate
Will Ukraine's fate be decided in Alaska? Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin meet today in Alaska to discuss the future of the war in Ukraine. Not present: anyone from Ukraine. The facts are not in flux. The battle lines have barely shifted over the last few years. The objectives of Russia and Ukraine haven't changed. And yet anything could happen — because nobody knows what Trump will do. In the last seven months, his positions on the war have swung wildly. He humiliated Volodymyr Zelensky, Ukraine's leader, in the Oval Office, and then criticized Putin's 'bullshit' and threatened sanctions on Moscow. Last week, Trump abruptly gave the Russian president a long-desired one-on-one meeting — and left Zelensky off the guest list. Ukraine and its European allies now fear that Trump will cut a deal with Putin. Here are some ways to understand the war: Who's winning? After Ukraine decimated Russia's underequipped forces in 2022, Putin re-engineered his country to serve the war. Russia has paid huge sums to recruit new soldiers and invested heavily in Iranian-designed drones. Putin has been willing to sacrifice his own soldiers, incurring about twice as many casualties as Ukraine. This multimedia story by Times journalists in Europe shows how the grinding war of attrition now favors Russia. Want all of The Times? Subscribe.
