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.

"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.

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."

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.
