Trump wants Ukraine to have say on territory talks with Russia, Macron says
- On Wednesday, Ukrainian President Zelenskyy traveled to Berlin to meet with German Chancellor Merz and participate in virtual discussions with U.S. President Trump and European leaders ahead of the Trump-Putin summit scheduled for Friday in Alaska.
- The summit preparations come amid ongoing fighting in Ukraine's Donbas, Russian advances near Pokrovsk, and unsettled peace talks where Ukraine demands security guarantees and inclusion in negotiations.
- Overnight Wednesday, Ukrainian military units targeted the Unecha oil pumping facility in Russia’s Bryansk region, causing damage to the station that supplies the Russian armed forces and supports pipelines with an annual capacity of 60 million tons.
- French President Macron said Trump was 'very clear' in stating the U.S. wants a ceasefire and that territorial issues involving Ukraine must only be decided by Zelenskyy himself, while German Chancellor Merz called the pre-summit meetings constructive.
- Zelenskyy reaffirmed Ukraine will not cede any territory, deeming such concessions unconstitutional and enabling future Russian aggression, and urged Western partners to coordinate efforts to pressure Russia toward an honest peace.
