Meetings in Alaska and Washington were high on pomp and low on breakthroughs, but there were two potentially significant developments.

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said on Tuesday that Russian President Vladimir Putin has promised to meet with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

A critical meeting between President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin will take place in Alaska Friday.

However U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff revealed that Putin agreed to allow the U.S. and its European allies to offer Ukraine a security guarantee at his meeting with Trump.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent delivered this line in response to criticism of President Trump inviting Russian President Vladimir Putin to U.S. territory: "He displayed a huge amount of military hardware and then did a flyover.

President Trump today said he will not send U.S. ground troops to Ukraine as part of any security guarantees for that country. As part of Trump’s push for peace, the White House said that Russian president Putin has agreed to meet with Ukraine’s president Zelenskyy.

President Donald Trump has spent the past several days on a diplomatic sprint, setting the groundwork for a potential trilateral meeting with Russian leader Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to discuss pathways to end the yearslong war.
