Ukrainian President Zelensky asserts that Trump and Putin cannot reach a decision without Ukraine's involvement.
The European allies of Ukraine and the leadership in Kyiv express concerns about the potential for decisions regarding Ukraine to be made without their involvement, as Russian leader Vladimir Putin and US President Donald Trump plan to discuss an end to the Russian war against Ukraine.
The planned USA-Russia summit is scheduled to take place in Alaska on Friday, but there is no confirmed trilateral meeting between Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin, and Volodymyr Zelensky regarding the Ukraine conflict. Trump has expressed hope and has begun arranging such talks, but Putin has not agreed to a trilateral summit and appears reluctant to meet Zelensky directly.
Trump called Putin during a White House summit where Zelensky and European leaders were present, expressing optimism about arranging a trilateral meeting. However, after initially pushing for a trilateral meeting, Trump has shifted to proposing a bilateral meeting between Putin and Zelensky first, with the possibility of a trilateral one afterward if necessary.
Russia has been noncommittal or resistant to direct talks with Zelensky, demanding inclusion in discussions about security guarantees and showing skepticism about negotiations progressing. Ukrainian officials doubt Putin will agree to meet Zelensky, fearing Putin wants to avoid a direct public confrontation with Zelensky, who is seen as a strong democratic leader contrasted against Putin’s image.
Trump’s recent meetings with both leaders and European partners have emphasized the importance of security guarantees for Ukraine, which remain a key sticking point. European leaders and Trump support the idea in principle of peace talks involving all three men, but the political and practical obstacles remain significant, especially due to Putin’s stance.
