The video conference call of the “Coalition of the Willing” supporting Ukraine against Russia’s invasion, August 13, 2025EA on International Outlets: Anticipating Trump-Putin Meeting on Russia’s Ukraine InvasionUPDATE, AUG 15:I joined Poland’s TVP World on Friday morning for a 13-minute preview of the meeting between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin in Alaska. UPDATE 0725 GMT:On Wednesday, I joined Talk TV’s Petrie Hosken for a 18-minute deep dive into the position after the Zelensky-Europe call with Donald Trump and before Trump’s meeting with Vladimir Putin on Friday. We know that Donald Trump listens to the “last person in the room”. They know that in 2018 he caved to Putin and even chose Putin over US intelligence services. Much could depend, I note, on whether other high-level US officials are involved in the talks or whether Putin can work on Trump one-on-one.
