Stakes high for Trump-Putin summit as Zelenskyy faces nightmare deal
Saturday, 9 August 2025 () For Ukraine - its exhausted, brave soldiers, its thousands of bereaved families mourning their dead, and its beleaguered president - it is exactly what they feared it would be.
In a high-stakes geopolitical maneuver, Ukraine, the U.S., and key European allies are set to meet in the U.K. ahead of Donald Trump’s planned summit with Vladimir Putin, Axios reports. The urgent talks aim to align positions before Trump attempts to broker a controversial peace deal to end the...
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.

Donald Trump’s bold campaign vow to end the Russia–Ukraine war “within 24 hours” has unraveled into six months of shifting deadlines, broken ultimatums, and rising tensions. Since taking office in January 2025, Trump has suspended U.S. military aid to Ukraine, sidelined Kyiv in talks, reversed support for NATO expansion, and repeatedly clashed with President Volodymyr Zelensky while trying to woo Vladimir Putin. From a “first 48 hours” promise, to 30-day, two-week, 50-day, and finally August 8 deadlines, each reset has produced no ceasefire — only intensified Russian attacks and deepening mistrust. With his latest deadline passing without results, Trump now faces mounting domestic and international pressure as he prepares for his first face-to-face meeting with Putin since the war began, leaving the world to question whether peace is possible or if this is just another clock set to reset.

Donald Trump has floated a controversial Ukraine-Russia peace proposal involving territorial swaps, suggesting both sides could benefit. According to reports, Vladimir Putin is open to halting the war if Kyiv cedes eastern territories, including Donetsk and Crimea. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky fiercely rejected any deal involving land concessions, calling it a reward for Russian aggression. While Trump insists the idea could end the conflict, Zelensky warned that any settlement without Ukraine’s consent is doomed, urging a “dignified and lasting” peace instead.
