President Zelensky could still potentially attend the Trump-Putin meeting to discuss ending the Ukraine war, despite Europe being shut out. The lack of invites for the invaded country and Europe causes concern about possible territorial concessions. Zelensky refuses to give up any land, stating it won't deter the Russian war machine. European leaders aim for Zelensky's presence at the summit for a successful outcome.
