Donald Trump is considering inviting Volodymyr Zelenskyy to Alaska amid Putin's visit: Report
The White House is considering inviting Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to Alaska, where President Donald Trump will meet Russian President Vladimir Putin on August 15, NBC News reported on Saturday.
The report cited a senior U.S. official and three people briefed on the internal discussions.
"It's being discussed," one of the people briefed on the talks was quoted as saying.
However, no confirmation has been made about Zelenskyy's visit
Hence, it is unclear if the Ukrainian leader would ultimately be in Alaska for meetings, but it remained a possibility.
Trump and Putin will meet in Alaska on August 15 to discuss Ukraine's future.
Writing on Truth Social, Trump said: "The highly anticipated meeting between myself, as President of the United States of America, and President Vladimir Putin, of Russia, will take place next Friday, August 15, 2025, in the Great State of Alaska."
"Further details to follow. Thank you for your attention to this matter!" he said.
Later, a Kremlin spokesperson also confirmed the issue and said the location was "quite logical" given Alaska's relative proximity to Russia, reported BBC.
The spokesperson added that Trump had been invited to Russia for a potential second summit.
One senior White House official told CBS News the planning for next Friday's summit is still fluid, and that it is still possible that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy could end up being involved in some way.
