The prospect of a Putin-Zelensky peace summit has collapsed into chaos following Russia’s devastating strike on Kyiv that killed 19 people, including four children. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky declared there would be “no summit, only blood, missiles and broken promises,” while Ukraine retaliated with drone attacks on Russian oil refineries. German Chancellor Friedrich Merz bluntly confirmed there would “obviously” be no summit despite Donald Trump’s dramatic push after his Alaska meeting with Putin. Moscow insists talks can only happen after “tangible progress,” something Kyiv and NATO allies reject outright. The collapse highlights the crumbling state of diplomacy in Europe, where leaders now openly prepare for wider war. Trump had hoped to position himself as a peacemaker, but European officials dismissed his roadmap as unrealistic. With NATO deployments looming and Russia warning of escalation, the world faces a dangerous new turning point.

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz is pushing back against Donald Trump’s peace initiative, demanding a Russian ceasefire before any summit with Putin and Zelensky can proceed. Merz warned that credibility of negotiations depends on Moscow halting attacks, urging European leaders to pressure Putin. He confirmed discussions with U.S. and EU partners on security guarantees for Ukraine but cautioned Putin’s participation in talks remains uncertain. While Trump pushes for direct negotiations, Merz insists Europe must play a central role in shaping long-term security arrangements.

Trump’s latest White House showdown sent shockwaves through global diplomacy. Brushing off Zelensky’s urgent demand for a ceasefire, Trump instead clashed head-on with German leader Friedrich Merz and French President Emmanuel Macron—leaving allies stunned. With fiery exchanges dominating the Oval Office, Trump’s rhetoric appeared to tilt toward Putin’s stance, raising urgent questions: Is U.S. policy shifting away from Ukraine and toward Moscow?

A historic confrontation is unfolding in Washington as President Donald Trump meets Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky at the White House, joined by key European leaders including Macron, Merz, Meloni, Starmer, von der Leyen, Stubb, and NATO’s Mark Rutte. This comes after Trump’s Alaska summit with Putin, where he backed a plan for Ukraine to cede Crimea and parts of Donbas, abandon NATO, and accept neutrality. Europe and Kyiv fiercely reject this “surrender deal,” warning it rewards Russian aggression and threatens NATO itself. Trump’s transactional “America First” diplomacy—focused on quick wins and cutting U.S. military spending—clashes directly with Europe’s push for long-term security and continued military aid. As Russia intensifies strikes, Europe views concessions as catastrophic. Tensions inside the White House are boiling: will this meeting end in compromise, or spark a full-scale rift between America and Europe that could reshape global order?

Putin has stunned the West with a surprise signal on Ukraine, suggesting that Moscow could offer security guarantees under certain conditions. Speaking after talks with Donald Trump and Slovak PM Robert Fico, Putin contrasted Trump’s “new approach” with Biden’s policies, stressing that Ukraine’s EU path may be possible but NATO membership remains a hard red line. The move has ignited speculation about a potential geopolitical shift in the Ukraine war.

Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico met Russian President Vladimir Putin at the SCO Summit, drawing sharp criticism from Brussels. Despite Slovakia’s EU and NATO membership, Fico vowed deeper energy cooperation with Moscow and announced opposition to an EU plan to cut Russian oil and gas supplies. He lashed out at EU chief Ursula von der Leyen, calling EU leaders “frogs in a well.” Putin praised Fico’s independent stance and declared Russia has no objection to Ukraine joining the EU—but NATO membership remains off limits.
