What’s up, folks? U.S. President Donald Trump just revealed that his upcoming Alaska summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Friday is meant as a "feel-out meeting" 🤝 – basically a chill kick-off to see where both sides stand before getting into the nitty-gritty.
Here’s the twist: Trump hinted he might invite Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy too, turning it into a three-way powwow. A White House source says they’re still deciding if Zelenskyy will join, and U.S. Ambassador to NATO Matthew Whitaker confirmed, "There’s still time to make that call." Could we all be watching Trump, Putin, and Zelenskyy in Alaska this week?
Meanwhile, the global squad is warming up. Germany is lining up video calls between EU leaders, NATO officials, Zelenskyy, VP Vance, and Trump to sync up their game plan. Zelenskyy even dialled up India and Saudi Arabia, chatting over chai and shawarma about boosting support for Kyiv. 🌍
Over in Brussels, EU foreign ministers backed a "just peace" and are drafting fresh sanctions against Russia, plus extra budget aid for Ukraine. EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas summed it up on X, highlighting the need for pressure on the Kremlin to secure a fair deal.
With Trump eyeing peace creds and potential business deals with Moscow, his idea of swapping territories to "better" both sides has Kyiv and European capitals on alert. Friday’s meetup could be a game-changer – whether it brings real progress or fresh headlines, we’ll be watching. Stay tuned! 🔥
