In a historic development, U.S. President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin will meet in Alaska on August 15 to discuss ending the Ukraine war. The Kremlin calls the summit “logical,” with discussions expected to focus on a potential land-swap deal between Moscow and Kyiv. Putin...
Donald Trump’s special envoy Steve Witkoff has come under fire after reportedly misinterpreting Russian President Vladimir Putin’s ceasefire terms, according to German outlet BILD. Sources say Putin demanded full control of Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporizhzhia, and Kherson while offering only a limited halt to attacks on energy sites and major cities—not a full ceasefire. Witkoff allegedly believed Putin was proposing a withdrawal from Ukrainian territories, a misunderstanding that baffled both European partners and members of Trump’s own team.
High-level calls between U.S. and European officials exposed confusion, internal disagreements, and a lack of unified strategy. With Trump’s Alaska meeting with Putin looming on August 15, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky reaffirmed that Ukraine will never surrender its land. The revelations raise concerns about U.S. negotiation credibility, European involvement, and the risks of misreading Moscow’s intentions in the ongoing war.

A Wall Street Journal report claims Vladimir Putin has agreed to meet Donald Trump and halt the Ukraine war if Kyiv surrenders its eastern territories, including Donetsk and Crimea. The proposal, relayed via U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff, demands Ukraine’s withdrawal from key regions. European leaders and President Zelensky strongly reject territorial concessions, citing Ukraine’s constitutional ban on such moves. Trump’s push for land swaps is straining U.S.-Ukraine ties and creating friction within NATO ahead of a possible Trump-Putin meeting in Alaska.
