U.S. President Donald Trump stated Friday that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy bears responsibility for negotiating a ceasefire agreement with Russia, following nearly three hours of talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Anchorage, Alaska. The meeting marked the first in-person discussion between the two leaders since 2021.
In a Fox News interview, Trump revealed plans for a potential trilateral summit involving Zelenskyy, Putin, and himself, though he provided no specific timeline. "We have a pretty good chance of getting it done," Trump said, while urging European nations to "get involved a little bit" in resolving the conflict.
The Alaska discussions concluded without immediate breakthroughs, but Trump emphasized Ukraine\u2019s agency in the process: "It is up to Zelenskyy to get it done." Analysts suggest the remarks reflect Washington\u2019s evolving diplomatic strategy amid growing global calls for conflict resolution.
