After talks between Putin and Trump\u2019s envoy Steve Witkoff in Moscow last week, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/world\/putin-russia-ukraine-ceasefire-proposal-0021453b\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a territorial swap is reported to be on the table<\/a> \u2014 where Russia would keep regions it has captured and also some land it has not yet fully occupied.<\/p>\n<p>Zelenskyy <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.eu\/article\/zelenskyy-rejects-giving-up-land-to-end-war\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">has rejected<\/a> that idea and is calling for strong U.S. sanctions against Russia. Ukraine\u2019s European allies are pushing for Kyiv\u2019s position to be taken into account during the negotiations in Alaska.<\/p>\n<p>Russian forces continue to attack along the front line, while bombing civilian infrastructure. More than 20 people were wounded in Zaporizhzhia after the Russian army dropped several glide bombs on the local bus station Saturday.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo deadlines, no expectations from them, work \u2014 they do not want to stop the killings. The only thing they are looking for is a way to kill Ukraine,\u201d Zelenskyy said Sunday.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat is why sanctions are needed, pressure is needed. Power is needed \u2014 the power of the United States, first of all, the power of Europe, the power of all the nations of the world that want peace and tranquility in international relations. If Russia does not want to stop the war, then its economy must be stopped,\u201d Zelenskyy added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The hotly anticipated Alaska summit comes as Trump tries to press Putin to end his all-out war on&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":335352,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7655],"tags":[32,805,660,332,657,49,333,2601,335],"class_list":{"0":"post-335351","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-russia","8":"tag-donald-trump","9":"tag-foreign-policy","10":"tag-kremlin","11":"tag-russia","12":"tag-ukraine","13":"tag-united-states","14":"tag-vladimir-putin","15":"tag-volodymyr-zelenskyy","16":"tag-war-in-ukraine"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115009388896104273","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/335351","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=335351"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/335351\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/335352"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=335351"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=335351"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=335351"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
