"The highly anticipated meeting between myself, as President of the United States of America, and President Vladimir Putin, of Russia, will take place next Friday, August 15, 2025, in the Great State of Alaska. Further details to follow. Thank you for your attention to this matter!" he posted on his social media platform.

Trump will meet Putin in Alaska to negotiate a ceasefire in Ukraine. But Zelensky has objected to being left out.

President Trump said a deal would involve "some swapping of territories to the betterment of both." Kyiv and its European allies say ceding land would only encourage Russian aggression.
