Trump Considers Zelenskyy for Alaska Summit with Putin

The White House is reportedly weighing an invitation for Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to join Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin at their upcoming summit in Alaska. European leaders have stressed that Ukraine must be central to any peace negotiations, warning against excluding Kyiv from decisions about its future. The meeting comes amid concerns that Trump might favor Putin’s demands, leaving Ukraine at a disadvantage.

US Vice President JD Vance hinted at a possible negotiated settlement, acknowledging that neither Russia nor Ukraine would be fully satisfied. Meanwhile, Zelenskyy has reiterated his refusal to cede occupied territories, fearing further Russian aggression. Overnight, attacks in Zaporizhzhia and Donetsk claimed lives, underscoring the ongoing violence.

European leaders issued a joint statement insisting on Ukraine’s inclusion in any peace talks, emphasizing that borders must not be altered by force. Zelenskyy praised their support but remains wary of compromises that could embolden Putin. As preparations for the Alaska summit continue, the world watches to see if diplomacy can end the bloodshed.
