Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky arrived in Washington for talks aimed at ending the war with Russia, following a summit between US President Donald Trump and Russia's Vladimir Putin in Alaska. Trump stated that reclaiming Crimea or joining NATO were "off the table" for Ukraine, a stance Zelensky has previously rejected.

• Trump maintains that "reclaiming Crimea" and Ukraine "going into NATO" are not options for a peace deal.
• Zelensky is accompanied by European Commission chief Ursula von der Leyen and leaders from Britain, Finland, France, Germany, and Italy for the Monday talks.
• Trump's envoy Steve Witkoff noted that Moscow made "some concessions" regarding five Ukrainian regions, with specific discussions concerning Donetsk planned for Monday.
