The US president said a peace agreement would be better than a "mere" ceasefire, hours after summit with Putin that produced little.

One key party not be in attendance Friday at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson in Anchorage, Alaska, was Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. Trump said after his meeting with the Russian president that he would call Zelenskyy and update him on the talks.

President Donald Trump shifted focus from a Ukraine ceasefire toward a more comprehensive peace deal following his Alaska meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin, according to Special Envoy Witkoff.

The US president will meet Zelensky in Washington on Monday in the wake of his Alaska summit with Vladimir Putin on Friday.

The first lady did not attend the summit between President Donald Trump and Russian leader Vladimir Putin in Alaska on Friday.

Achieving a ceasefire is no longer the White House’s goal—a reversal that came directly after meeting with the Russian leader.
