Trump Confirms Zelensky Will Not Attend Alaska Talks With Putin On Ukraine Ceasefire

Donald Trump has confirmed that Volodymyr Zelensky will not be present at his meeting with Vladimir Putin in Alaska later this week.

The two leaders will hold talks on Friday aimed at exploring the possibility of a ceasefire in Ukraine.

This follows statements from European leaders, including Keir Starmer, who stressed that the path to peace for Kyiv “cannot be decided without Ukraine," and that the current line of contact between Russia and Ukraine should serve only as “the starting point of negotiations."
