A historic confrontation is unfolding in Washington as President Donald Trump meets Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky at the White House, joined by key European leaders including Macron, Merz, Meloni, Starmer, von der Leyen, Stubb, and NATO’s Mark Rutte. This comes after Trump’s Alaska summit with Putin, where he backed a plan for Ukraine to cede Crimea and parts of Donbas, abandon NATO, and accept neutrality. Europe and Kyiv fiercely reject this “surrender deal,” warning it rewards Russian aggression and threatens NATO itself. Trump’s transactional “America First” diplomacy—focused on quick wins and cutting U.S. military spending—clashes directly with Europe’s push for long-term security and continued military aid. As Russia intensifies strikes, Europe views concessions as catastrophic. Tensions inside the White House are boiling: will this meeting end in compromise, or spark a full-scale rift between America and Europe that could reshape global order?

Russia cannot seize all of Donetsk region unless Ukraine withdraws from it, ISW says
The Russian president allegedly told Donald Trump that he wants all of Ukraine’s Donbas region as part of any deal to put an end to the war. More than 10 years into Moscow's relentless assaults in eastern Ukraine, Russia still does not control all of the Donbas.

Russia has launched powerful airstrikes across eastern Ukraine just minutes before President Volodymyr Zelensky’s high-stakes White House meeting with Donald Trump. Moscow’s Aerospace Forces struck temporary deployment zones of Ukrainian brigades near Mirnograd and Ivanpolye, using FAB-3000 and FAB-500 aerial bombs fitted with gliding and correction modules. The attack obliterated positions of Ukraine’s 15th National Guard Brigade and heavily damaged the 100th Separate Mechanised Brigade. The timing of the strikes sends a chilling message, intensifying tensions as Trump pushes Zelensky toward a controversial peace deal that could force Ukraine to cede territory. With European leaders watching closely, the simultaneous escalation on the battlefield and in Washington underscores the razor’s-edge stakes of the moment. Will Russia’s escalation corner Zelensky into concessions, or harden his resolve? The strikes set a dramatic backdrop for a summit that could shape the future of Ukraine, Russia, and the West.

Tensions are boiling over in Washington as reports suggest Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has flatly rejected Donald Trump’s proposed peace terms ahead of a high-stakes meeting. The sticking point? Crimea. With Trump pushing for a deal to end the war, Zelensky’s defiant stance — “Crimea is ours” — has set the stage for a dramatic clash that could reshape U.S.-Ukraine relations and rattle allies watching from Europe.

Volodymyr Zelensky is set to meet Donald Trump in Washington on Monday, but this time he won’t face him alone. At Zelensky’s request, top European leaders—including Ursula von der Leyen, Keir Starmer, Emmanuel Macron, Giorgia Meloni, Friedrich Merz, and NATO’s Mark Rutte—will join to shield him from another Oval Office humiliation. February’s chaotic meeting, where Trump and JD Vance mocked Zelensky, left deep scars. Now, Europe’s united front aims to counter Trump’s confrontational style and prevent a repeat embarrassment for Ukraine.

Russian strikes have killed 8 people and injured 35 across Ukraine just as President Zelensky arrived in Washington, D.C., for a high-stakes meeting with President Trump. Moscow continues to reject calls for an unconditional ceasefire, intensifying its use of drones and missiles. Cities near the Russian border, as well as the Sumy region, were hit, leaving civilians trapped under rubble and hospitals overwhelmed. The attacks come as Zelensky and European allies push for peace, while Russia demands territorial concessions, raising tensions ahead of the crucial summit.
