Zelenskyy heads into crucial Trump meeting as US weighs security guarantees for Kyiv
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy heads into a high-stakes White House meeting with President Donald Trump on Monday, as Washington considers security guarantees for Kyiv and debate intensifies over whether land concessions to Russia could end the war.
Zelenskyy will be flanked by key European allies at the White House, a diplomatic overture that signals Europe’s determination to rally behind Ukraine.
Over the weekend, the Ukrainian leader acknowledged his last White House visit – cut short by a shouting match between Trump and Vice President JD Vance – and told reporters in Brussels he hopes Monday’s meeting «will be productive» rather than a repeat of February’s encounter.

The upcoming meeting comes on the heels of Trump’s summit with Russian leader Vladimir Putin in Anchorage on Friday, where the U.S. leader shifted from demanding a ceasefire to calling for a final peace deal.
Trump’s special envoy Steve Witkoff told CNN that Putin agreed to allow the U.S. to provide Ukraine «robust security guarantees.»
«We got to an agreement that the United States and other European nations could effectively offer Article 5-like language to cover a security guarantee,» in reference to the critical NATO provision,» Witkoff said, referencing the military alliance’s mutual defense clause, known as Article 5.
NATO’s Article 5 – the cornerstone of the alliance – stipulates that an attack on one member is an assault on all, obligating allies to come to each other’s defense. The proposed security guarantees for Ukraine would not come through NATO, but rather from select European allies in the event of a Russia-Ukraine peace deal.

Zelenskyy welcomed the revelation during a Sunday press conference alongside European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen.
«It’s important that America agrees to work with Europe to provide security guarantees for Ukraine, and we are very thankful to the United States under the president for such a signal,» Zelenskyy said.

«This is a significant change, but there are no details about how it will work and what America’s role will be, what Europe’s role will be and what the EU can do,» he added.
‘Impossible to give up territory or trade land’

Over the weekend, Zelenskyy reiterated that his war-weary nation will not surrender any territory to Russia as the Kremlin’s three-and-a-half-year conflict grinds on.
«The constitution of Ukraine makes it impossible to give up territory or trade land,» Zelenskyy said during a press conference at the EU Commission on Sunday.

He added that Russia has repeatedly tried and failed to seize the entirety of the Donbas region in eastern Ukraine for a period of 12 years.
The area, which includes Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts, is an industrial hub where coal mining and steel production remain central to Ukraine’s economy. In short, control of Donbas’s mines and factories would hand Moscow powerful leverage over Kyiv’s financial survival.

«Since the territorial issue is so important, it should be discussed only by the leaders of Ukraine and Russia at the trilateral Ukraine, United States, Russia,» Zelenskyy said.
The Ukrainian leader, who spoke alongside von der Leyen, said that so far the Kremlin has «given no sign that the trilateral will happen.»
«With regards to any territorial questions in Ukraine, our position is clear: international borders cannot be changed by force. These are decisions to be made by Ukraine and Ukraine alone, and these decisions cannot be taken without Ukraine at the table,» von der Leyen said.

Following the meeting with the Russian leader, Trump signaled that Zelenskyy should take Putin’s deal to end the war because «Russia is a very big power» and Ukraine is not. Still, Secretary of State Marco Rubio sought to play down speculation that Trump could push Zelenskyy to give up Ukrainian land to Russia as part of a deal to end the war.
«The president has said that in terms of territories, these are things that Zelenskyy is going to have to decide on,» Rubio told Maria Bartiromo on Fox News’ «Sunday Morning Futures.»
«All the president is trying to do here is narrow down the open issues,» Rubio said, adding that Trump is focused on ending the Kremlin’s full-throttle assault on Ukraine.

Israel receives 2 more hostage coffins from Gaza through Red Cross operation as identification begins
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Israel on Tuesday received the coffins of two hostages returned from Gaza through the Red Cross, and officials said the remains will be identified before being released to their families as the military vowed to keep working to bring home all remaining captives.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office said the coffins were handed over to the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) and Shin Bet force inside Gaza. From there, they will be transferred to Israel, where they will be received in a military ceremony with the chief military rabbi.
Once received, the coffins will be placed in the custody of the National Center of Forensic Medicine of the Ministry of Health, where they will be identified. The families will receive formal notification once the process is complete.
The prime minister’s office said all families of the deceased hostages have been updated and sympathy has been expressed for their loss.

«The effort to return our hostages continues ceaselessly and will not stop until the very last hostage is returned,» Netanyahu’s office said.
The news comes the same day remains of a hostage returned from Gaza were identified as Sgt. Maj. Tal Haimi, commander of Kibbutz Nir Yitzhak’s rapid response team.

Haimi was 41 when he died, and, according to the IDF, he was killed in combat while defending Kibbutz Nir Yitzhak during the Oct. 7, 2023, massacre. His remains were taken to Gaza, where they were held for more than two years.
Haimi’s family initially believed he was taken alive, and Israel declared him deceased Dec. 13, 2023.

Undercover video reveals red state university employee suggesting DEI is simply being rebranded
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
FIRST ON FOX: A conservative watchdog group has released a video that it says raises concerns that administrators at the University of Utah are continuing to push diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), possibly at odds with a relatively new state anti-DEI law.
«No, no comment,» University of Utah education coordinator Lucas Alvarez told Accuracy in Media when asked about an allegation he was pushing DEI in violation of a 2024 law aimed at curbing DEI practices inside state universities.
Accuracy in Media President Adam Guillette then showed Alvarez video of him explaining the current DEI practices at the university.
«We’re still, I think, figuring out as we go, like, HB261,» Alvarez said in the video. «It’s complicated, I mean, like, the programs that we’re doing, I think technically we’re still allowed to do them, but they have to be marketed in a certain way.»

When pressed by Guillette on what he meant by changing «marketing,» Alvarez once again said no comment.
Alvarez was also pressed about another comment he made on video suggesting DEI was still a focus at the university, explaining that his department has been «meeting with a lot of campus partners» to do the «strategic work» of being in «compliance» but pointing out that these partners have «academic freedom.»
«I think what he was referring to was the professors have academic freedom to do research and speak from their expertise in the field that they’ve studied,» LeiLoni McLaughlin, the university’s director of the Center for Community & Cultural Engagement, told Guillette when asked what Alvarez meant.

«He kind of suggested that they shifted things over to the professors though,» Guillette said, prompting McLaughlin to explain she thinks that was a «false statement.»
McLaughlin was then asked by Guillette what Alvarez meant by changing the «marketing.»
«I think with the legislative changes, every university has had to shift,» McLaughlin said.
«Shift their actions or just shift how they market what they are doing,» Guillette responded.
«Both,» McLaughlin answered.

A University of Utah spokesperson told Fox News Digital in a statement, «I reject the assertion that the university is hiding diversity work with rebranding and remarketing.»
«The changes required under HB 261 transformed how we support student success, recruit faculty, celebrate events and create a sense of belonging on our campus.»
The spokesperson added that Alvarez is «not a spokesperson for the University of Utah.»
«His comments do not reflect the position of the institution,» the spokesperson continued. «The comments of LeiLoni McLaughlin, director of our Center for Cultural and Community Engagement…were much more aligned with university leaders.»
The spokesperson also pointed to an interview that she said showed the Black Student Union was «extensively mourning the loss of their center and identity-based resources» due to the school following the new law.
The school has previously outlined measures taken to conform with the law, including closing identity-based resource centers, transferring DEI employees to other jobs on campus, and prohibiting diversity statements in hiring.

«This isn’t about one or two bad apples — it’s about a broken system,» Guillette told Fox News Digital about his video footage, filmed in October 2024 and May of this year.
«Utah needs a Kansas-style DEI ban with a reporting mechanism and actual legal consequences. And more importantly, America’s university system needs to be fundamentally reshaped with a focus on education rather than activism.»
Republicans across the country, along with President Donald Trump’s administration, have scored major victories pushing back on DEI in favor of meritocracy standards, but experts have warned that universities and organizations will be hostile toward the idea of giving up those methods and will instead attempt to rebrand them under different banners.
«At first, they just pushed back on, tried to defend DEI itself, but when that became so obvious that what DEI really was anti-White, anti-Asian, sometimes anti-Jewish discrimination in hiring and promotion, they abandoned that,» Consumers’ Research Executive Director Will Hild told Fox News Digital earlier this year. «Now what they’re trying to do is simply change the terminology that has become so toxic to their brand. So we’re seeing a lot of companies move from having departments of DEI, for example, to ‘departments of belonging’ or ‘departments of inclusivity.’»
Hid added, «It is the exact same toxic nonsense under a new wrapper, and they’re just hoping to extend the grift, because a lot of these people — I would say most of the people — working in DEI are useless.»
