U.S. Ambassador to NATO Matthew Whitaker said “it’s possible” that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky attends the upcoming meeting between President Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska.

A diplomatic scramble unfolded Saturday after President Donald Trump announced he would meet his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin, next week in Alaska, as European leaders rushed to understand the terms of the meeting and ensure Ukraine was not being left out of discussions about its future.

European nations have rallied behind Ukraine in advance of this week's summit between Trump and Putin, emphasizing that peace cannot be achieved without Kyiv's involvement.
