US President Donald Trump said he and Russian President Vladimir Putin made “great progress” but did not emerge from yesterday’s summit in Alaska with an agreement on the war in Ukraine. Follow for live updates.

After leaving Alaska, Trump says he would prefer to "go directly to a peace agreement" to end the war in Ukraine, rather than a temporary ceasefire.

Putin told Trump Russia would end the war if Ukraine gave up Donetsk. Trump urged Zelensky and European leaders to pursue a full peace deal instead of a ceasefire, seeking lasting resolution.
