Zelensky says Putin-Trump summit should focus on ceasefire in Ukraine

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Wednesday said that Russia should face new sanctions if it does not agree to an "immediate ceasefire" at a summit with U.S. President Donald Trump this week.

"We hope that the central topic at the meeting will be a ceasefire. An immediate ceasefire," Zelensky said after a call with Trump and European leaders ahead of the U.S.-Russia summit in Alaska on Friday.

"Sanctions must be in place and must be strengthened if Russia does not agree to a ceasefire," he added, speaking alongside German Chancellor Friedrich Merz in Berlin.
