The President of the United States, Donald Trump, is planning a meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska on September 15, 2025. Official sources have stated that the invitation to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is being discussed, but no final decision has been made yet.
The meeting between Trump and Putin will be focused on the war in Ukraine. Official sources from the White House emphasized that Trump remains open to the possibility of a trilateral meeting, but the main focus right now is on preparing for a bilateral meeting.
Zelensky expressed skepticism regarding the meeting, stating that any decisions made without Ukraine's participation will not lead to peace. He emphasized the importance of Ukraine being involved in any negotiations regarding the end of the war.
European leaders have also expressed concern that Ukraine could be excluded from the peace negotiation process. They stressed the need to ensure a ceasefire before the start of any negotiations and that Ukraine must be involved in all discussions.
Trump noted that a peace agreement could potentially involve "exchanging territories." Putin's proposal suggests that Ukraine would need to cede parts of the eastern Donbas region, which has raised significant concern among European leaders.
