1/ "We talked a lot about Crimea": @ZelenskyyUa told what map was at the meeting with Trump and what factor was "deadly" for the russians
The president said that at the meeting with American President Donald Trump at the White House, they studied a map indicating the situation on the battlefield.
According to Zelensky, a significant part of the conversation concerned #Crimea, which was marked as the "biggest problem."
The head of state stated that, in Trump's opinion, Crimea became the "key to the full-scale war," and if then-US President Barack Obama had not given this opportunity, and Putin had not occupied Crimea and part of Donbas, he would not have started the full-scale war.
2/ "There was a normal dialogue in the White House"
@ZelenskyyUa said that during the negotiations with @realDonaldTrump, there was a map with information about the percentage of territories that were occupied after 2014 and after 2022.
"When we arrived, they already had their own map. I said that I would like to demonstrate what is happening on the battlefield now. For this, I don't need our map, I can use your map, because I understand perfectly well what the situation is:
- where we are, about the presence in Donbas, in the East in general, why they cannot get this or that territory, etc.
These were my lengthy explanations, but it was a completely normal dialogue," Zelensky said.
3/ The president explained to Trump that if the Ukrainian military withdraws from Donbas and it comes under russian control, Ukraine will actually open the way to Kharkiv.
The Ukrainian president also showed Trump the roads to the Dnieper and emphasized important aspects regarding the issue of territories.
"If we are talking about withdrawing from the East, we cannot do this. But here the issue is not only in the Constitution, it is a question of the survival of our country, and here the issue is about the strongest defensive lines, about distances to industrial centers.
If Putin gets this, he will try to go further. Regardless of whether he signs something or not," the president emphasized.

and Vladimir Putin in Anchorage, Alaska, on August 15, 2025, ended without progress on a ceasefire or a long-term peace in Ukraine.
Trump bylinetimes.com/2024/08/15/the…
failed to impose new economic sanctions after the summit. But while there was no breakthrough at the meeting, the possibility of a deal that could reshape global energy and extend the war lurked in the background largely unnoticed. bylinetimes.com/2024/08/09/bbc…

called ‘distraction or deflection’. In this case the red carpet, military flyovers, and conspiracy theories about Putin’s doubles drew the spotlight away, while leaving the real story overlooked.bylinetimes.com/2020/03/04/big…

The U.S. president was accompanied by Secretary of State Marco @SecRubio and special envoy Steve @SEPeaceMissions during the "three-on-three" talks with the russian delegation led by Putin.
"We had an extremely productive meeting and many points were agreed to. There are just a very few that are left — some are not that significant — one is probably the most significant," @realDonaldTrump said, without providing details on the talks

Putin Surfs Into Alaska
From Moscow’s View: Not to Compromise, But to Gloat
By:
Mikhail @zygaro
When Vladimir Putin steps onto Alaskan soil to meet Donald Trump, the symbolism will be hard to miss.
Alaska once belonged to the russian Empire, until it was sold to the United States in 1867.
2/ In russia, this is more than a historical footnote — it has become a running nationalist joke.
Ever since the annexation of Crimea in 2014, Kremlin-friendly commentators have half-seriously suggested that Alaska should be “returned.”
The singer Vika Tsyganova even immortalized the fantasy in a patriotic ballad: “From Alaska to the Kremlin — this is my Motherland.” kyivpost.com/opinion/58111
3/ "But in russia, the anticipation of this meeting is anything but unified."
The so-called “turbo-patriots” — the loudest, most militant pro-war bloggers and propagandists — are terrified that peace might break out.
For them, peace would mean that the war, and all the deaths and sacrifices it has brought, were for nothing.
They want victory at any cost — and Putin himself has fed that fantasy. He’s compared the current conflict to World War I, lamenting how russia “prematurely” signed a separate peace with Germany instead of pushing on to victory. In other words: no repeat of Brest-Litovsk encyclopedia.1914-1918-online.net/article/brest-…
