The Prime Minister will join Donald Trump and Volodymyr Zelensky in the White House as the US issues its demands to Ukraine following last week's Alaska summit with Vladimir Putin

At what was billed as an “historic” presidential summit, hastily put together in Alaska on Friday afternoon, the optics were as clear and overshadowing as the vast Chugach mountains glistening over Anchorage in the summer sun.

In a message on his Truth Social platform, Mr Trump said President Zelensky “can end the war with Russia almost immediately, if he wants to, or he can continue to fight”. He said there would be “no going into Nato by Ukraine” – keeping its neighbour out of the alliance and its mutual defence pact has been one of Russia’s key aims.

US President Donald Trump has issued a stern warning to Ukraine’s President ahead of crucial peace talks at the White House between the two leaders.

A host of European leaders will join Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky for talks at the White House with US President Donald Trump tomorrow. The meeting comes on the heels of Trump’s summit in Alaska with Russia’s Vladimir Putin.

The leaders of the UK, France and Germany will accompany Ukraine's president for crunch talks on ending Russia's war against Ukraine.

The highly anticipated summit ended without a breakthrough. Afterwards, Trump said Ukraine and Russia should proceed straight to seeking a full peace deal instead of a cease-fire.

Volodymyr Zelensky has vowed to reject Vladimir Putin's "peace deal" - which involves handing large sections of Ukraine to Russia. The Ukrainian President has claimed his Russian counterpart wants the rest of occupied Donetsk - and effectively the entire Donbas region - as part of a ceasefire deal.
