If Vladimir Putin disagrees with a ceasefire in the war, there will be “very serious consequences” Ukraine The U.S. president said Wednesday at a summit with Donald Trump in Alaska.
Speaking after a call with Volodymyr Zelenskyy and other European leaders, including Keir Starmer of the UK, he also suggested that if his meeting with Putin was good, he would push for a second summit – this time including his Ukrainian rival.
“If the first one goes well, we will have a second one,” Trump told reporters in Washington. “I almost want to do it immediately, and if they want me there, we will have a second meeting between President Putin and President Zelensky and myself.”
Trump did not provide a timetable for the second meeting. He will meet in Anchorage, Alaska on Friday. The meeting was reportedly held at the Elmendorf-Richardson Joint Base, a crucial military facility against the Soviet Union during the peak of the Cold War.

The president’s remarks came as the White House praised dozens of arrests overnight in Washington for part of a campaign to fight the “crime crisis”, which city leaders said does not exist.
Trump earlier this week invoked a never-used legal provision that sets out the governance structure of federal districts to temporarily control police departments, but requires Congress’ permission to extend it to 30 days beyond what regulations allow.
