Trump–Putin Alaska Talks End Without Deal, Zelenskyy Meeting Next
Trump and Putin met in Alaska on August 15, 2025, for high-profile talks on the war in Ukraine. While both leaders described the meeting as productive, no ceasefire or peace deal was reached.
Trump signaled support for Putin’s idea of skipping a ceasefire and moving straight to a full peace agreement—raising concerns among European and Ukrainian leaders.
A follow-up meeting with Ukraine’s President Zelenskyy is planned in Washington on August 18.
