Trump told leaders in a weekend call that he’s open to US involvement in guarantees of Ukraine’s security, other people familiar with the matter said. All asked not to be identified to discuss private deliberations.

“There’s no deal until there is a deal,” Trump told reporters at a press conference in Anchorage, Alaska, following a meeting between Trump, Putin, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, special envoy Steve Witkoff, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and Russian foreign affairs adviser Yuri Ushakov. The summit lasted about two hours and 30 minutes.

As President Donald Trump prepares for the high stakes meeting on Monday with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, back home in Boston, Ukrainians don't feel optimistic.

The heads of Britain, Italy, Finland and France will join Ukraine's president who is under U.S. pressure to accept a quick deal to end Russia's war on terms that would be hugely difficult to accept.

President Donald Trump said progress had been made in Friday's Alaska summit with the Russian leader, but no deal on peace in Ukraine has been reached.
