Today, Jess, Bishop, and Amy unpack the fallout from President Trump’s Alaska summit with Vladimir Putin, which ended without a ceasefire or a clear path forward in Ukraine. The tone between the two leaders was noticeably less chummy by the end of their meeting, but the summit also risked legitimizing Russia’s illegal invasion by entertaining talk of territorial concessions. Meanwhile, after another night of heavy Russian strikes, President Zelensky and Europe’s leaders are preparing to sit down with Trump — a meeting that could prove even more consequential.
Did the Alaska summit achieve anything beyond giving Putin a platform? Will Europe step up with a unified plan to support Ukraine if U.S. proposals fall flat? Will Ukraine see Washington’s talk of “security guarantees” as real protection against Russian aggression?
