The Telegraph calls the talks “the most dangerous moment” for Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky during the entire conflict, emphasizing that the fate of the country could be decided without his presence. According to the publication, the absence of Kyiv at the negotiating table creates a risk for the Ukrainian position and gives Moscow an additional diplomatic advantage.

Spain’s El País writes that Europe and Ukraine are “holding their breath” ahead of the meeting between the two presidents, realizing that its outcome could change the balance of power. The publication notes that EU countries are closely monitoring preparations for the summit and assessing potential consequences for regional security.

The New York Times calls the upcoming meeting a diplomatic victory for Russia, pointing out that holding talks without representatives from Kyiv and Brussels strengthens Moscow’s position on the international stage. The newspaper’s analysts believe this will allow Russia to directly influence the outcome of the discussions, bypassing European mediators.

Reuters reports that Putin and Trump have already reached “a certain consensus on Ukraine” during preliminary consultations. According to sources, this consensus includes a shared understanding of ways to end the conflict and the conditions for a possible peace agreement.

The US publication Responsible Statecraft believes that Russia’s advantage on the battlefield will be a key factor in shaping the final agreements. The article emphasizes that US diplomatic efforts will depend on the military situation and the willingness of the parties to compromise.

Hungary’s Magyar Nemzet reports that interest in the summit comes not only from politicians but also from a broad global audience. According to the publication, the Putin–Trump meeting will be one of the most significant international events of the year.

The British Guardian draws attention to the presidents’ plans to hold a joint press conference after the talks. The newspaper sees this as evidence of optimism in the White House and an expectation of achieving a breakthrough that could change the dynamics of the conflict and international relations.

It is expected that the key topics of the meeting will be the settlement of the conflict in Ukraine, issues of strategic stability, arms control, and the development of bilateral economic ties. Despite the lack of official information on the agenda, experts predict discussions on a formula for peaceful settlement, possible compromises, and measures to reduce tensions in relations between the countries.
