A host of key European leaders will join Ukraine’s Volodymyr Zelensky when he meets with US President Donald Trump at the White House tomorrow, marking a significant change in format from his disastrous Oval Office sit-down earlier this year.
Trump envoy claims progress with Putin: Russian President Vladimir Putin agreed to allow US security guarantees for Ukraine and made concessions on “land swaps” as part of a potential peace deal during his summit with Trump on Friday, top envoy Steve Witkoff told CNN. Russia has yet to mention such agreements, which appear at odds with Putin’s past statements.
Trump’s reversal: Zelensky continues to insist on an immediate ceasefire before a full peace agreement. But Trump has shifted positions, saying he is now focused directly on securing a peace deal — without a temporary pause in fighting during negotiations. Witkoff said the reversal was due to the progress Trump made in Alaska.
