Zelenskyy, Trump, Putin to Hold Trilateral Meeting Late Next Week

The United States is planning to organize a trilateral meeting between President Donald Trump, Russian President Vladimir Putin, and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy at the end of next week.

The Gaze reports this, referring to CBS.

According to two sources familiar with the talks, the effort follows Trump’s recent remarks to journalists at the White House in which he expressed optimism that his meeting with Putin would be “constructive” and revealed plans to bring Putin and Zelenskyy together in person.

“The next meeting will be between Zelenskyy and Putin, or Zelenskyy, Putin and me,” Trump said earlier this week. 

While Trump is scheduled to meet Putin in Alaska on Friday, the proposed follow-up session involving all three leaders would mark the first in-person talks between the Russian and Ukrainian presidents since Moscow’s full-scale invasion began more than three years ago.

Zelenskyy has stressed that any discussions on Ukraine’s future must include Kyiv directly, warning that “talks about us, without us, will not work.” 

He has identified an immediate ceasefire and binding security guarantees as key priorities for any negotiations.

No official date or location for the trilateral meeting has been confirmed, but the parties are actively working to finalize these arrangements.

As The Gaze reported earlier, European leaders have underscored that Ukraine must have a seat at the table and that any deal must respect its sovereignty and territorial integrity.
