After leaving Alaska, Trump says he would prefer to "go directly to a peace agreement" to end the war in Ukraine as he prepares to meet Zelensky on Monday.

United States President Donald Trump has announced that he and Russian President Vladimir Putin made “some great progress” after talks in Anchorage, Alaska, but no ceasefire in Ukraine has been reached. Putin, however, warned Ukraine and its European allies not to “throw a wrench in the works” and make “provocations” in the Trump-led peace talks.
