White House just watered down the only concession it can claim Trump won from Putin
Briefly

The Independent funds on-the-ground reporting across issues including reproductive rights, climate change, and Big Tech, relying on donations instead of paywalls. The outlet investigates financial and political actors, produces documentaries highlighting American women fighting for reproductive rights, and emphasizes parsing facts from messaging. The organization positions quality journalism as available to everyone and paid by those who can afford it. After an Alaska summit with Vladimir Putin, Donald Trump returned to Washington appearing closer than his predecessor to ending the three-year war in Ukraine, though comments from the White House, European leaders, and Russia indicate a major gulf remains over Kyiv's input and territorial concessions.
Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging. At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
Trump returned to Washington this weekend from Alaska, where the U.S. president met for a summit with Russia's Vladimir Putin that was sharply criticized by his adversaries and a source of real concern for Europe, after which it appeared that the U.S. was on the verge of negotiating away swaths of Ukrainian territory without any input from Kyiv.
