After the 2020 war, Nagorno conquered the Azerbaijani part of Karabakh and ended with the expulsion of 120,000 inhabitants of Armenian origin.

Russian President Xi Jinping this Sunday told Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi that China and India must be "friends and good neighbours."

Zelensky and Von der Leyen will lead the way in double diplomatic terms, while the European Union is preparing new measures for military aid and borders.

The German Government has introduced a new system of voluntary recruitment of young people, although it is not ruled out that the military service that was suspended in 2011 will be restored if the new system does not achieve sufficient troops.

In a place and a day yet to be determined, the rendezvous seems increasingly feasible, as both leaders may meet in Geneva or Budapest. In this context, Europe is working to impose new sanctions on Russia.

The European Commission is working to prepare a meeting with Ukraine and the US "as soon as possible."

After this possible bilateral meeting, the US president would also join the talks. Zelenski has offered Trump to buy weapons worth EUR 77 billion in exchange for providing security guarantees for Ukraine. 

The US president, who will call Putin after Monday's meeting, has been optimistic about the possibility of Putin and the presidents of Russia and Ukraine holding a tripartite meeting.

"If all goes well, I think we're going to have a trialogue, and with that I think there's going to be a reasonable chance to end the war," Trump stressed to Zelensky, who said Ukraine is "ready" for a trialogue. "I think we've shown that we're strong people and that we support the idea of the US and President Trump himself to stop the war," he said.

"Russian war machines continue to destroy lives. Putin will commit terrible killings to contain pressure on Ukraine and Europe, as well as to humiliate diplomatic efforts." Volodomir Zelenski has declared in his X social network account . Zelenski has made these statements following the attacks that have left seven dead in Kharkov and three dead in Zaporiya.

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. 

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.
