In this episode of India Today Global, the focus is on the meeting between Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, joined by top EU leaders, and US President Donald Trump in Washington. This follows Trump's summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska, where Trump softened his stance by dropping demands for an immediate ceasefire, sparking concern amongst Ukraine's allies. The talks address a potential peace deal that could see Ukraine giving up territory for security guarantees. Zelensky has stated, "It's impossible to do this under the pressure of weapons. So, it's necessary to cease fire and work quickly on a final deal." As the meeting unfolds, Russia has launched one of its largest combined drone and missile attacks on Ukraine in recent weeks, targeting six regions and causing civilian casualties. The key question is whether Trump will press Kyiv into a deal favouring Moscow, or if Ukraine and its allies can secure lasting guarantees.
