Description

The White House hints Volodymyr Zelensky might be invited to join Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin in Alaska on Friday when the two Presidents meet for their first bilateral summit since 2019. European leaders have joined Zelensky in insisting Ukraine must be represented in any negotiations over the country’s future. But is the Kremlin willing to concede any ground to reach a ceasefire? And will Trump force through a deal at any cost? Former NATO official John Lough delves into the Moscow mindset and assesses where this high stakes game of brinkmanship might end up.
