Kremlin plays down Zelensky talks as Trump warns Putin may not 'want to make deal'

The Kremlin plays down imminent summit between Putin and Zelensky while Trump warns of Putin's possible disinterest in making a deal to end the war in Ukraine. Trump met Putin in Alaska, discussed with European leaders and Zelensky at the White House, highlighting a challenging conflict with Putin possibly not keen on reaching a resolution. The push for direct talks continues amid complexities, with Trump open to air support if Europe commits ground troops in Ukraine post-peace deal. Talks aim to bring a closer peace deal between Ukraine and Russia, although Putin's reluctance poses a challenge despite European and Zelensky's support for potential bilateral meetings.
