Zelensky and European leaders to hold summit

BEFORE TRUMP-PUTIN MEET

European leaders and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky will hold online talks with US President Donald Trump on Wednesday, hoping to convince him to respect Kyiv’s interests when he discusses the war with Russia’s Vladimir Putin in Alaska on Friday.

Zelensky will travel to Berlin to join the afternoon video conference with the host, Chancellor Friedrich Merz, a German government source told AFP.

Merz has also invited the French, British and other European leaders and the heads of the EU and NATO to take part in the talks.

They are then expected to talk to Trump and Vice President JD Vance in a second round of the conference call.

The Trump-Putin meeting on Friday is so far planned to go ahead without Zelensky. This has fuelled fears Kyiv could be forced into painful concessions, including over land.
