Zelensky's Summit Role Uncertain Amid Diplomacy Push

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky may be invited to the upcoming US-Russia summit in Alaska, where Presidents Trump and Putin will discuss the Ukraine war. The decision to invite Zelensky rests with President Trump, while European and NATO leaders are strongly pushing for Ukraine's direct involvement and warning against any agreement that pressures Kyiv to cede territory. Zelensky has rejected any territorial concessions and insists that no peace deal is viable without Ukraine at the table. NATO officials and European leaders stress that any agreement must respect Ukraine's sovereignty and address EU interests. U.S. officials and Senator Lindsey Graham have emphasized the need for all parties' agreement and advocated for continued military support and security guarantees for Ukraine. The summit has heightened concerns among Ukraine and its allies about being sidelined, reinforcing demands for inclusive diplomacy.
