US President Donald Trump is informing Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and other European leaders about his summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin
According to the European Commission, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, French President Emmanuel Macron, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, Finnish President Alexander Stubb, Polish President Karol Nawrocki, and NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte, as well as US Secretary of State Marco Rubio and US Special Envoy Steve Witkoff, participated in the talks with Trump and Zelenskyy.
Further consultations between European leaders then took place. Ambassadors of EU member states were scheduled to meet today at an extraordinary meeting to be briefed on the Alaska meeting.

The summit between US President Donald Trump and Kremlin head Vladimir Putin did not result in any agreement on settling or suspending Moscow's war in Ukraine, although both leaders called the talks productive before heading home.
During a brief appearance before the media after a nearly three-hour meeting in Alaska on Friday, the two leaders said they had made progress on unspecified issues. But they, as Reuters notes, provided no details and did not answer questions, and the usually talkative Trump ignored journalists' shouts.

In an interview on Fox News after the summit, Trump said that several difficult issues remained after his conversation with Putin, even though he warned that they had not reached an agreement, and, as Bloomberg notes, shifted his attention to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, stating that the settlement of the war depends on him.
"There are one or two pretty important points, but I think they can be resolved," Trump said in the interview. "It really depends on President Zelenskyy. And I would also say that European countries should get a little involved, but it depends on President Zelenskyy."
When asked what advice he would give the Ukrainian leader, Trump replied: "Make a deal, make a deal."
