Trump and Putin will not be able to make a deal on Ukraine without Zelensky - The Daily Telegraph
Kyiv • UNN
A deal on the war in Ukraine between Trump and Putin in Alaska is unlikely due to Zelensky's absence from the negotiations. Territorial concessions are the main stumbling block, with the President of Ukraine rejecting territorial exchange.
The conclusion of any agreement regarding the war in Ukraine during the meeting between US President Donald Trump and Russian dictator Vladimir Putin on August 15 in Alaska is unlikely. This is reported by The Daily Telegraph, according to UNN.

The authors predict that one of the main stumbling blocks in the issue of a ceasefire is territorial concessions.
"Russia is determined to take control of the Ukrainian Donbas, where some of the fiercest battles of the war have raged. Mr. Trump said this week that he believes a peace deal would require a territorial exchange, but Mr. Zelenskyy has categorically rejected this option," the article says.
The authors, quoting the head of the Ukrainian state, summarize that "a true, real and fair result can only be achieved with the participation of Ukraine and Europe."
