Vladimir Putin reportedly demanded Ukraine's withdrawal from the Donetsk region as a condition to end the war, offering a frontline freeze if his demands are met. This request was made during a meeting with Trump in Alaska, which ended without a ceasefire agreement. Experts warn that Putin is being "rewarded" for his actions and that this may prolong the conflict. Zelensky is scheduled to meet with Trump in Washington D.C., following Trump's meeting with Putin, which has been described as "very successful" by Trump. Reports suggest Trump offered Ukraine NATO-style security guarantees, but without formal NATO membership. The summit concluded without a ceasefire or agreement to pause the war, raising concerns in Ukraine and Europe. While Putin claims Russia seeks a peaceful resolution and respects the US position, critics argue the summit gave Putin leverage and emboldened him to continue the war. European leaders have been invited to Zelensky's Washington trip to discuss the situation further.
