The scheduled meeting between US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska is being described by the White House as a "listening exercise" for Trump, with no expectation of an immediate ceasefire agreement in the Russian-Ukrainian conflict. Spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt emphasized that only Russia will be present at the talks, and Trump will seek to form a clearer picture of the situation. Ukrainian President Zelenski has warned that any ceding of territory is constitutionally forbidden and that Ukraine must be part of the talks. The White House has not commented on earlier talks between Trump and Zelenski.
