Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said he is ready to make “some compromise” on his demand that a ceasefire takes place before any talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin – as long as some security guarantees for Ukraine are established.

Analysts weighed in on what concessions Zelensky may consider making to end the war and what's likely to be off the table.

The Kremlin has played down talk of an imminent summit between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukraine's Volodymyr Zelensky, as Donald Trump renewed his call for the two leaders to meet to discuss ending the war in Ukraine.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt will brief the media around 1:00 p.m. on Tuesday after two huge diplomatic meetings between Trump and Putin on Friday and Trump, Zelensky, and EU leaders on Monday.

The Russian president sent his American counterpart a photograph of the two of them from their face-to-face meeting.

In an unexpected moment during an event about the 2026 World Cup draw, President Donald Trump pulled out a photo of him and Russian President Vladimir Putin during their meeting in Alaska.
