Trump reportedly shoved a map of Ukraine across the table toward President Zelensky, demanding territorial concessions to fast-track a peace deal with Russia. Sources say the map outlined regions Trump believes Ukraine should give up, including Crimea and parts of the Donbas. The move stunned EU leaders in the room and visibly angered Zelensky, escalating tensions during what was already a high-stakes summit on the future of the Russia-Ukraine war.

All eyes are on Washington as Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky arrives at the White House for a dramatic summit with Donald Trump and European leaders. This moment goes beyond politics—Zelensky’s wardrobe itself has become a message to the world. Days ago, an American journalist mocked whether he even owned a suit, sparking laughter from Trump and Senator J.D. Vance. Now, the Ukrainian leader’s choice could define the future of the war. A formal suit may symbolize readiness to accept Trump’s controversial peace plan—ceding Crimea and parts of Donbas to Russia. His trademark olive-green attire, however, would signal fierce defiance, a vow that Ukraine will never surrender its land. With tensions between Washington, Kyiv, and Europe already at breaking point, even a simple outfit has turned into a diplomatic weapon. Will Zelensky bow to pressure—or double down on resistance? The answer could reshape alliances and the global balance of power.

Russia cannot seize all of Donetsk region unless Ukraine withdraws from it, ISW says
The Russian president allegedly told Donald Trump that he wants all of Ukraine’s Donbas region as part of any deal to put an end to the war. More than 10 years into Moscow's relentless assaults in eastern Ukraine, Russia still does not control all of the Donbas.

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?

In a fiery press briefing, Leavitt ruled out "American boots on the ground" in Ukraine, firmly shutting down the possibility of direct U.S. troop deployment. But in a surprise twist, she hinted that Trump is considering aerial support — raising the prospect of U.S. jets flying near or over Russian-controlled territory.

Russia has launched fresh strikes on Ukraine, leaving at least 21 people dead and casting doubt on the prospects of meaningful negotiations. As questions mount over whether Moscow is testing Trump’s resolve or sabotaging peace efforts altogether, the bombing underscores the volatility of the conflict

White House Press Secretary blasted mainstream media for spreading “fake news” about U.S. negotiations with Russia and Ukraine. She accused left-leaning outlets of deliberately undermining President Trump’s efforts, arguing that many in the press have been “rooting against the President of the United States and the pursuit of peace.” The sharp rebuke underscores growing tensions between the administration and media over foreign policy narratives. As talks remain sensitive, the administration insists its focus is on achieving peace while dismissing what it calls politically motivated reporting.
