As the summit between Trump and Putin in Alaska approaches, Ukrainian President Zelenskyy is facing immense pressure regarding the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, particularly concerning the Donbas region. Zelenskyy has firmly stated that Ukraine will not exchange land for peace, rejecting proposals from Trump that suggest land swapping with Russia. The Ukraine leadership is wary of potential deception from Putin during these discussions and is advocating for a lasting ceasefire and security guarantees instead of territory concessions. Amid fears of a new offensive from Russia, the Ukrainian community, especially those in Alaska, are closely watching the developments as they prepare for possible changes to their country’s borders. There is a growing sentiment within Ukraine that any territorial concessions would be illegal and strongly opposed by the public, fueling anxiety about the outcome of the talks.
