President Donald Trump on Sunday teased what he said would be a "big day" as Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy prepares for a White House meeting.

At what was billed as an “historic” presidential summit, hastily put together in Alaska on Friday afternoon, the optics were as clear and overshadowing as the vast Chugach mountains glistening over Anchorage in the summer sun.

In Alaska, military parader President Donald Trump literally had U.S. soldiers on their knees to roll out the red carpet for wanted war criminal Vladimir Putin, who Trump greeted with applause as Putin played him like a pawn.

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.

The Ukrainian president will be joined at the White House on Monday by several key European leaders, as they look to find an end to the war 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 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.

According to UK newspaper The Telegraph, offering Alaskan natural resources to Russia could be part of a peace deal in Ukraine.
