Following his talks with Russian President Putin in Anchorage, Alaska, U.S. President Donald Trump said Friday that it is up to Ukrainian President Zelensky to strike a ceasefire deal. There would soon be a meeting involving Zelensky, Putin and himself, Trump said in an interview with Fox News, without giving details on the planned meeting or a possible timeline.

He also said that European countries "have to get involved a little bit." Earlier in the day, Trump and Putin held nearly three hours of talks at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson in Anchorage.
