Trump briefed senior European counterparts and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Aug. 16 following his summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Anchorage, Alaska, the day prior. 

While the high-stakes meeting did not produce a cease-fire, both Trump and Putin said it laid the groundwork for future negotiations. 

In a joint statement on Saturday, French President Emmanuel Macron, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, Finnish President Alexander Stubb, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk, European Council President António Costa, and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen welcomed Trump’s initiative. 

“Leaders welcomed President Trump’s efforts to stop the killing in Ukraine, end Russia’s war of aggression, and achieve just and lasting peace,” the statement read. 

It stressed that “Ukraine must have ironclad security guarantees” and underscored that “Russia cannot have a veto against Ukraine’s pathway to EU and NATO.”
