The article was published on the broadcaster’s website.

"One White House official stressed that anything involving Zelensky would likely happen after the Trump-Putin meeting." the report says.

Overall, the summit is being prepared very quickly, and details are still being finalized. The exact location has not been announced, CNN notes.

An unnamed White House representative also stated that Trump remains “open to a trilateral summit with both leaders,” but first and foremost, “the White House is planning the bilateral meeting requested by President Putin.”

  • Previously, the possibility of Zelenskyy’s participation in the Trump–Putin meeting in Alaska was also reported by CBS.
  • Touching on what he would discuss with Putin regarding ending Russia’s war against Ukraine, Trump had earlier raised the topic of "some territorial exchange."
  • Diplomatic consultations between Ukraine and the US ahead of the summit are taking place virtually around the clock.
