Donald Trump says that if everything"goes well" at Friday's summit in Alaska, a"quick second meeting" could take place between him and Vladimir Putin, but with the participation of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, Sky News reports.

“There’s a very good chance that there will be a second meeting that will be more productive than the first one, because in the first one I will find out where we are at,” Trump said at a press conference at the Kennedy Center in Washington.

The US president said a second meeting would only take place if he"received the necessary answers" from Putin on Friday. He added that if the Russian president did not agree to end the war, he would face"very serious consequences."

US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin will meet in Alaska on Friday to discuss ending the war in Ukraine. Washington's goal is a ceasefire and perhaps peace in the long term, while Moscow wants to use the summit, which was initiated without Kiev and the EU, to stall for time.
