US President Donald Trump said Wednesday (August 13) he would seek a three-way meeting with Volodymyr Zelensky and Vladimir Putin, immediately after his Alaska summit with the Russian leader aimed at ending the three-year war in Ukraine.Trump spoke after what he described as a “very good” call with European leaders, including Zelensky — even as Russian forces made their biggest advance into his country in more than a year.”If the first one goes okay, we’ll have a quick second one,” Trump told reporters as he was questioned about the face-to-face in Anchorage with his Russian counterpart, set for Friday (August 15).”I would like to do it almost immediately, and we’ll have a quick second meeting between President Putin and President Zelensky and myself, if they’d like to have me there.”The high-stakes summit comes with Trump struggling to broker an end to the conflict, and Zelensky and his European allies earlier urged the Republican to push for a ceasefire. n18oc_world n18oc_crux0:00 INTRODUCTION4:55 “PUTIN IS BLUFFING” ZELENSKY DEMANDS “SECURITY GUARANTEES”BELARUS TO PRACTICE ORSHENIK MISSILE USE IN DRILLS
