🕊️ Trump Says Ukraine Can End War — But at a Cost
Late Sunday, President Trump posted that Ukraine could end the war fast — if it gives up Crimea and drops its NATO plans.
📍 He said:
Crimea is “off the table”
No NATO membership for Ukraine
Peace possible if Kyiv accepts these terms
🇺🇦 Zelenskyy lands in D.C. ahead of Monday’s White House summit with Trump + 7 European leaders, including:
- NATO chief Mark Rutte
- EU President Ursula von der Leyen
🛑 Zelenskyy agrees peace is urgent — but says it must be strong & lasting, not based on past compromises that helped Russia.
🇷🇺 Trump’s post comes after his Aug 15 meeting with Putin in Alaska.
Putin offered a ceasefire — if Ukraine gives up land. No deal was reached.
📆 Monday’s summit could decide if Washington’s new terms and Kyiv’s red lines can meet.
