After leaving Alaska, Trump says he would prefer to "go directly to a peace agreement" to end the war in Ukraine as he prepares to meet Zelensky on Monday.

Special U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff says Russian leader Vladimir Putin agreed to allow the U.S. and Europe to offer Ukraine a security guarantee resembling NATO's collective defense mandate.

President Donald Trump said progress had been made in Friday's Alaska summit with the Russian leader, but no deal on peace in Ukraine has been reached.

In a shift, Trump now aligns more closely with Putin than allies in Europe in calling for final talks before a ceasefire

European and NATO leaders will join Zelensky in Washington for talks with President Trump on ending Russia’s war in Ukraine. Russia agrees to allow NATO-like security protections for Ukraine, U.S. envoy says.

European leaders will join Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy for his crucial meeting with President Donald Trump, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said on Sunday.

U.S. President Donald Trump could offer NATO-like protection of Ukraine, and Russia is open to the idea, one of his top foreign policy officials said on Sunday ahead of a meeting with Ukraine and European leaders to hammer out details of possible security guarantees for Kyiv.

Secretary of State Rubio said Trump's position on the war in Ukraine hasn't changed after Friday's summit with Putin and that Ukraine must be involved in peace talks.

After meeting the Russian president, President Trump told European leaders he now favors giving up territory Ukraine controls to Russia to end the fighting, a concession Ukraine has long opposed.
