JAKARTA - US President Donald Trump stressed that Urina and Russia must surrender each other to end the war. Trump said his talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin would be aimed at discussing possible deals.

Trump in a press conference at the White House said his talks on Friday, July 15 with Putin in Alaska would be a "trial meeting" to determine whether Putin was willing to reach an agreement.

Trump claims to be able to find out within two minutes whether the deal's progress is possible.

"So I'll talk to Vladimir Putin, and I'll tell him you have to end this war. You have to end it," Trump told reporters.

Trump also said the upcoming meeting could involve Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and could end up being a three-way session involving himself and Putin.

The US president will also speak with European leaders soon after his meeting with Putin with the aim of a swift ceasefire in this bloody war.

Trump has previously talked about land exchanges, but neither Russia nor Ukraine are interested in handing over land to each other as part of a peace deal.

Europe fears major concessions to Russia could create security concerns for the West in the future.

Ukraine is currently still trying to expel Russia since Europe's biggest and deadliest war since World War Two began in February 2022.

Meanwhile, Russia confirmed the war on the basis of what it called a threat to its security from the Ukrainian axis to the West.

Kyiv and its Western allies said the invasion was an imperial-style seizure of land.

Russia currently occupies about a fifth of Ukraine's territory, while Ukraine has almost no Russian territory.

"There will be a regional exchange going on," Trump said.

"I know it's through Russia and through conversations with everyone, for the good of Ukraine."

Trump said Russia had occupied some very important territory.

"But we will try to regain some of that area," he said.
