Trump invited European leaders to join the meeting with the Ukrainian president.
Following what was described as a “lengthy” phone call with President Donald Trump, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced that he will travel to Washington on Monday to meet with President Donald Trump. A White House official said Trump has invited European leaders to join the meeting on Monday afternoon.
Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin met in Alaska on Friday and while Putin mentioned an "agreement" in the post-meeting news conference and Trump said "great progress" was made, there was no mention of a ceasefire.
After meeting for more than two hours with their respective delegations, President Trump and Russia's Vladimir Putin are now holding a joint news conference at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson.
A spokesperson for the Russian foreign minister boasted about the red carpet rolled out for the arrival of President Vladimir Putin in Alaska.
"The Western media in a state that can be described as insanity bordering on complete madness, for three years, they have been reporting on Russia's isolation, but today they witnessed the red carpet that greeted the Russian President in the United States," the spokesperson said in a statement.
The bilateral meeting between President Trump and Russia's Vladimir Putin continues with their respective delegations.
What was expected to be a one-on-one meeting between Trump and Putin expanded to include White House special envoy Steve Witkoff and Secretary of State Marco Rubio on the U.S. side while Putin was accompanied by Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and his foreign policy adviser Yuri Ushakov.

Military analyst Steve Ganyard detailed the current map of Ukrainian front lines and the extent of Russian-controlled territory as President Donald Trump and Russia's Vladimir Putin meet in Alaska to discuss the war.
Russia has gained about 20% of Ukrainian territory since it began its invasion in February 2022, according to Ganyard.
Much of the gains have occurred in Eastern Ukraine, and Putin is setting his sights on gaining control of the Donbas area, Ganyard said.
