Russia-Ukraine war

Zelensky, together with European and NATO leaders, will meet with Trump. The US president says the war could end "almost immediately" if Ukraine rejects Crimea and NATO.

This will be one of the issues that Trump and Zelensky will address at Monday's summit.

Ukraine's president has stressed the importance of a common front for "just peace."

According to the British Financial Times, the meeting will be conditioned by Russia's demands, Donetsk and Lugansk, to secure a peace agreement.

Leaders Von der Leyen, Macron, Meloni, Merz, Starmer, Stubb and Tusk have expressed this after the summit between Trump and Putin.

In this context, Trump and Zelensky will meet on Monday at A0Washington to discuss all the details of the summit in Alaska. 

Donald Trump is meeting Vladimir Putin in Alaska today at a meeting full of doubts: the US president avoided criticizing the Russian leader in the past and has hardened his speech in recent months, but doubts remain whether he will maintain that firmness or seek a rapprochement with Moscow.

The US president has said there is a 25% chance that the meeting will not succeed, while the Kremlin has warned that no formal agreement is expected to be signed.

Friday's meeting comes surrounded by uncertainty: Ukrainian President Volodimir Zelenski will not intervene and little progress is expected for a ceasefire or peace process.

According to Macron, the US president has confirmed by videoconference that NATO will not be involved in Ukraine's security guarantees. Moreover, the French president has explained that Trump has assured them that only Zelensky will negotiate the territories that Ukraine is supposed to cede to Russia.

"The citizens of Ukraine must be free to decide their future. The path of peace in Ukraine cannot be decided without Ukraine." They warn that a ceasefire is essential for any progress.

Zelenski has called for his presence at the summit announced by Trump and Putin to discuss the end of the war in Ukraine, as well as European participation.

It is not yet clear whether Ukrainian President Volodimir Zelenski will be represented in this meeting to try to reach an agreement.

On the other hand, the Russian president has been willing to meet Zelensky. "I have said many times that I have nothing against it," Putin said, adding that "certain conditions" must be created for that meeting, which, in his view, are "far from being fulfilled."

In any case, the US president has ruled out "decisive progress" at the last meeting or Russia's surrender.

Trump has signed an order to impose 25% tariffs on India for the purchase of Russian oil. The US president plans to meet Putin next week.

To stop the war in Ukraine USA recently criticized the ultimatum it imposed on Russia E and warned that this could lead to a conflict between the two countries.

In Ukraine, the first street protests against President Zelensky have begun since the start of the Russian invasion of a law that threatens the independence of anti-corruption agencies.

Vladimir Putin will face the deadline set by Donald Trump to reach an agreement with Ukraine to end the war. If no concrete progress towards peace is made in 50 days, the White House will respond.

Trumpek 50 eguneko epean Errusiari %100eko muga-zergak ezarriko dizkiola iragarri du, baldin eta Moskuk Ukrainarekin su-etena eta bake prozesua hastea ahalbidetuko duen akordiorik lortzen ez badu. Aldi berean, iragarri du Ameriketako Estatu Batuek (AEB) armak bidaliko dizkiela NATOko herrialdeei, eta haiek arduratuko direla finantzatzeaz eta ondoren Ukrainara transferitzeaz.
