President Donald Trump announced a face-to-face meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska next week, aiming to address tensions between Russia and Ukraine and reach a possible peace deal, though both sides remain far from an agreement.See the story in the video aboveReacting to the announcement, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy made clear that any deal concerning his country without its involvement would be unacceptable. "Any decisions that are against us, any decisions that are without Ukraine, are at the same time decisions against peace. They will not achieve anything," Zelenskyy said in a statement posted online. "The answer to the Ukrainian territorial question already is in the Constitution of Ukraine. No one will deviate from this — and no one will be able to. Ukrainians will not gift their land to the occupier."In announcing the summit, President Trump provided few specifics but suggested that a path to peace might involve Ukraine and Russia redrawing the map. "It's very complicated, and we're going to get some back. We're going to get some switched," he said in remarks to reporters Friday. "There'll be some swapping of territories to the betterment of both."President Trump previously said that a meeting with Zelenskyy would only happen after a meeting with Putin, a move that sidesteps even his own deadline, threatening new sanctions on Russia if it did not end the war.The meeting would be the first U.S.-Russia summit since 2021 and the first since Putin has been on U.S. soil in a decade. And while Trump and Putin have expressed a desire for a peace deal, some analysts warn that Russia may actually be buying itself more time in an effort to outlast Ukraine and Western support.Watch the latest on the Russia-Ukraine war:
