Europe Urges Trump Not to Cave to Putin’s Demands
Zelensky warns that the Alaska summit benefits Putin by delaying sanctions and risks Ukraine ceding territory without its consent amid the ongoing conflict, now in its fourth year.
- A summit between U.S. President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin is scheduled for Friday in Alaska, marking their first meeting since 2021.
- The summit follows Russia's nearly three-and-a-half-year invasion of Ukraine that began in 2022, with Zelensky warning that it may delay new U.S. sanctions on Russia.
- Meanwhile, Russian forces have advanced roughly 10 kilometers near Dobropillia in eastern Ukraine, pressing offensives along multiple front-line areas amid difficult Ukrainian battles.
- Zelensky said Putin scored a "personal victory" by gaining the summit invitation and ruled out any withdrawal of Ukrainian troops from the Donbas, citing risks of enabling further Russian offensives.
- The meeting raises concerns about potential territorial concessions as Russia continues aggressive advances, while Ukraine asserts it will not cede land or compromise its sovereignty in peace talks.
