Volodymyr Zelensky will meet Donald Trump on Monday in Washington, no ceasefire after the summit in Alaska
Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump, accompanied by their advisers, discussed for nearly three hours on Friday in Anchorage, Alaska. This was their first summit since the return of the American billionaire to power. Expectations were very high for this meeting, which was primarily supposed to focus on the war in Ukraine.
- At the end of the meeting, the two leaders spoke of "productive" and "constructive" discussions. Donald Trump stated that "a lot of progress" has been made and that there are "very few" issues left to resolve. However, the two heads of state did not answer any questions from journalists and left Alaska without providing further details.
- Shortly after the end of the summit, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky announced that he will meet his American counterpart on Monday in Washington to discuss resolving the conflict in Ukraine. European leaders, for their part, reaffirmed their support for Ukraine, indicating that they are "ready to maintain pressure" on Russia through sanctions.
- More than three and a half years after the start of the Russian invasion, the prospect of an end to hostilities still seems distant, given the incompatibility of Moscow and Kiev's demands.
