Trump called for an unconditional ceasefire in Ukraine during a video conference with European leaders, and peace talks can only begin after that step.

In a videoconference with European allies, Trump insisted on the need for an unconditional ceasefire in Ukraine, calling it a precondition for peace talks. Although European leaders expressed concerns about the outcome of his meeting with Putin in Alaska, Trump warned of "grave consequences" if Russia does not accept the truce. They also discussed possible sanctions against Russia and Putin's demands, including reducing the US military presence in Europe.
