President Trump is holding virtual talks with European officials and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky today, ahead of a bilateral meeting Friday in Alaska with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Ahead of today’s talks, all EU leaders — with the exception of Hungary’s Viktor Orbán — signed a joint statement warning that Ukrainian borders should not be redrawn by force. Joining the call was Poland’s Prime Minister Donald Tusk.

Prime Minister Donald Tusk: “Ukraine cannot lose this war, and no one has the right to put pressure on Ukraine when it comes to territorial concessions or other decisions that would smell of capitulation.”

President Zelensky once again rejected any ceasefire deal that will require Ukraine to trade territory for an end to the war — a concession Trump is pressing for. On Tuesday, Zelensky downplayed reports that Russian forces had advanced six miles deeper into Ukraine’s Donetsk region, but Ukraine’s military is warning of a Russian troop buildup for a new offensive set to begin in September.
