Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is bringing with him to the the White House an extraordinary cadre of European leaders to show U.S. President Donald Trump a united front against Russia.

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.

President Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin are scheduled to meet Friday at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson in Anchorage, Alaska, to discuss the conflict between Russia and Ukraine.

Trump on Sunday said “big progress” had been made with Russia on the Ukraine conflict, as envoy Witkoff outlined that Russian President Vladimir Putin signalled for the first time he could accept Nato-style security guarantees for Kyiv.

President Trump is set to host a collection of European leaders as he meets with Ukrainian President Zelenskyy following his summit in Alaska with Russian President Putin. Former Department of Homeland Security Chief of Staff Miles Taylor and Retired Lieutenant General Mark Hertling join Alex Witt to share their expectations for tomorrow’s meeting.

The US president said a peace agreement would be better than a "mere" ceasefire, hours after summit with Putin that produced little.

President Donald Trump said on social media Saturday that a deal better than “a mere Ceasefire” is in the works with Vladimir Putin, hours after Trump’s high-stakes summit with the Russian leader in Alaska failed to produce an agreement to halt Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

President Donald Trump is set to travel to Alaska to meet Russian President Vladimir Putin as he seeks negotiations to end Russia's war against Ukraine, threatening more tariffs on Russian energy if ceasefire talks falter.
