Trump to hold call with Zelensky and European leaders ahead of Putin summit | BBC News

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky will join virtual talks with European leaders and Donald Trump, ahead of the US president's meeting with Russia's Vladimir Putin in Alaska.

In an online call with Trump on Wednesday, the leaders are expected to reiterate that no decisions should be taken without Ukraine, including changing its borders by force.

Trump has said any peace deal would involve "some swapping of territories" and it is believed one of Vladimir Putin's demands is that Kyiv surrenders the parts of the eastern Donbas area it still controls.
