Overview

• President Trump called for an immediate ceasefire along the current frontlines in Ukraine, saying both sides should hold positions and negotiate later.
• He told reporters he did not ask Ukraine to give up the Donbass, though Reuters and the Financial Times report he pressed President Zelenskyy on territorial concessions during a heated meeting.
• Multiple reports say Trump declined Tomahawk cruise missile deliveries to Ukraine, while Vice President JD Vance later said no final decision has been made.
• Reporting links Trump’s posture to a recent call with Vladimir Putin that included a proposed territorial swap, and a potential Trump–Putin meeting in Budapest is being discussed but remains unsettled according to the Kremlin.
• Zelenskyy publicly rejected ceding territory and urged greater allied pressure on Russia, as media accounts also point to divisions within the U.S. administration over Ukraine policy.
