The president's path to Alaska – how Trump's positions on Ukraine shifted
Thursday, 14 August 2025 () BBC Verify's Nick Beake looks at what President Trump has said and done in his search for an end to the conflict in Ukraine.
After the failed Alaska summit with Vladimir Putin, Donald Trump has confirmed a crucial White House meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Monday. Trump revealed he briefed Zelensky by phone and also consulted European leaders and NATO. While calling a mere ceasefire...
Hours before President Zelensky’s White House visit, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio made waves by suggesting Ukraine and Russia must consider concessions for a peace deal. His remarks come after reports that Putin demanded control of Donbas in exchange for ending the war. Zelensky, backed by Europe, has firmly rejected any territorial compromise, repeating “No land for invaders.” While Rubio urged diplomacy, he warned peace may remain elusive, and without an agreement, the war—already entering its fourth year—could bring more deaths and consequences for Russia.

Rumors about Vladimir Putin's declining health have been around for years ... and there might be some truth to the speculation if you caught the subtle clues.. TMZ.com
Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky, hesitant after his disastrous last meeting with Trump, will be joined by the new EU Chief for a tense White House visit. Critics claim Zelensky is “too scared” to face Trump alone, while Europe rallies behind Kyiv’s “no land” stance. British PM Keir Starmer, Macron, and Merz offered support, as Trump insists only a direct peace deal can end the war. In a dramatic twist, Melania Trump even appealed to Putin in a letter urging him to think of suffering children.

Hours after a high-stakes Trump-Putin meeting ended without progress, Russia unleashed ballistic missiles and Shaheed drones across Ukraine, killing five and wounding eleven. Ukraine’s air defense intercepted 40 drones, but multiple strikes hit civilian areas. Hopes for a ceasefire faded as European leaders opposed Trump’s accelerated peace plan, instead urging direct Ukraine-Russia talks. Trump now seeks a trilateral summit with Putin and Zelensky on August 22, as the war intensifies and negotiations remain deadlocked.

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán delivered a striking endorsement of the Trump-Putin Alaska summit, declaring that “the world is a safer place today than it was yesterday.” Orbán praised the meeting as a long-overdue reset between the two biggest nuclear powers, accusing President Joe Biden of dismantling the framework of U.S.-Russia cooperation. The Hungarian leader said Trump and Putin had ended years of hostility and reopened the path to dialogue. His remarks were hailed by Moscow and welcomed by Trump allies, while Western critics warned Orbán was legitimizing Putin’s war agenda. Both Trump and Putin reportedly agreed that Biden’s approach had accelerated tensions instead of resolving them. The summit, which ended without a ceasefire deal in Ukraine, continues to send shockwaves across Europe. Orbán’s comments add fuel to an already divisive global debate over whether the Alaska meeting represents peace progress or dangerous appeasement.

The Alaska summit between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin has ended, but the aftershocks are only beginning. From secret side talks to awkward body language and stunning geopolitical twists, Trump’s post-summit remarks have raised more questions than answers. While Putin appeared to control the narrative, Trump’s revelations — some baffling, some explosive — left U.S. allies anxious and Ukraine deeply unsettled. Was Trump outplayed, or is there a bigger game in motion?

European leaders will join Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in Washington for high-stakes talks with Donald Trump. The meeting comes as Trump pushes Zelensky toward a quick peace deal involving territorial concessions to Russia—something strongly opposed by EU allies. Ursula von der Leyen, Mark Rutte, Alexander Stubb, Friedrich Merz, Keir Starmer, Emmanuel Macron, and Giorgia Meloni are all expected to attend. The talks will focus on security guarantees, future military aid, and Ukraine’s borders—underscoring deep transatlantic divisions over Trump’s push for compromise with Putin.
