Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is poised for a critical meeting with former US President Donald Trump on Monday, amid escalating geopolitical tensions. The encounter comes as speculation grows over a potential summit between Russian President Vladimir Putin and US officials in Alaska.
High-Stakes Diplomacy
The anticipated meeting between Zelenskyy and Trump is expected to address Ukraine's ongoing conflict with Russia and the future of Western support. Sources suggest Trump may push for a negotiated settlement, though Zelenskyy has repeatedly emphasised Ukraine's commitment to reclaiming occupied territories.
Putin's Alaska Summit: Fact or Fiction?
Meanwhile, rumours of a Putin-Alaska summit have sparked intrigue. While no official confirmation has been made, insiders claim backchannel discussions are underway. The proposed meeting, if realised, could mark a significant shift in US-Russia relations.
Global Reactions
European leaders are closely monitoring both developments, wary of any potential weakening of Western unity against Russian aggression. A White House spokesperson declined to comment on the Alaska rumours but reaffirmed President Biden's unwavering support for Ukraine.
As Monday's meeting approaches, all eyes are on whether these diplomatic manoeuvres will lead to breakthroughs or further complicate an already volatile situation.
