The White House does not expect today’s meeting between US President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to directly result in a trilateral summit with Russian leader Vladimir Putin, The Washington Post reports.
Zelenskyy is set to visit the White House today for talks with Trump on possible steps toward ending the war. A spokesperson confirmed that Washington still hopes to organize a Trump–Zelenskyy–Putin meeting by the end of the week but cautioned that Monday’s session is unlikely to trigger it.
From Ceasefire to Peace Deal
Trump has recently signaled interest in convening a trilateral summit following his August 16 meeting with Putin in Alaska. That encounter, originally expected to produce an immediate ceasefire, shifted Trump’s approach toward seeking a broader peace agreement.
According to Trump’s envoy Steve Witkoff, the change reflects “significant progress” in negotiations with Moscow. Trump himself called the Alaska talks successful, insisting the conflict could be ended.
Media reports suggest Russia’s demands include:
• withdrawal of Ukrainian forces from Donetsk,
• freezing the frontlines in Zaporizhzhia and Kherson,
• possible Russian pullbacks in parts of Kharkiv and Sumy,
• and additional concessions on the status of the Russian language and other issues.
Witkoff confirmed that today’s White House talks could touch on the sensitive issue of potential Ukrainian territorial concessions to Russia.
