During a summit in Anchorage, Alaska, US President Donald Trump announced that significant points regarding a potential land swap and security guarantees to end the Ukraine war have been “negotiated” and “largely agreed on.” He indicated that only a “big thing” of disagreement remained, though he declined to specify what that issue was. Trump characterized the three-hour meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin as “very warm,” rating it a “10 of 10,” despite not reaching a conclusive agreement on the issue of Ukraine's territorial integrity, according to South China Morning Post.

On social media, Trump reiterated a message that Ukraine must be willing to lose some territory to Russia, stating, “otherwise, the longer the war goes on, they will keep losing even more land.” This aligns with views expressed by US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who commented that both sides must make concessions for a peace agreement. He emphasized that it is ultimately Ukraine’s decision regarding territory, stating “It's their territory. It's their country,” according to TRT Global and AA.

In light of these developments, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is scheduled to meet with Trump at the White House to further discuss the proposed agreements. Additionally, senior European leaders and NATO officials are expected to participate in the talks, seeking a coherent strategy regarding Ukraine's future. Leaders such as French President Emmanuel Macron and German Chancellor Friedrich Merz are anticipated to join, reinforcing a collective international approach to the ongoing conflict, as reported by South China Morning Post and TRT Global.

Trump also defended himself against media criticisms regarding the summit, asserting that reports labeling it a “major defeat” were misleading. He emphasized that Putin preferred to hold the meeting elsewhere, highlighting what he termed “fake news” narratives surrounding the summit’s location, according to AA.
