As the day progressed, reports detailed Zelensky's stated intention to travel to Washington for talks with Trump, further solidifying the prospect of direct US-Ukraine engagement following the summit. Late in the day, media outlets highlighted intense speculation about an August 22 date for a potential high-level trilateral discussion on Ukraine, signaling accelerated diplomatic efforts. Concurrently, reports indicated Kyiv's opposition to ceding Donbas, contrasting with Putin's sustained demands for the region.
