WARSAW (Reuters) -Poland's prime minister said on Monday he felt a mixture of fear and hope ahead of a Russia-U.S. summit on the war in Ukraine this week, but added that Washington had pledged to consult its European partners before the talks.

Trump and Putin will meet in Alaska on Friday to try to resolve the three-year war but the EU has insisted that Kyiv and European powers should be part of any deal to end the conflict.

Trump said earlier that Russia and Ukraine were close to a ceasefire deal that could require Ukraine to surrender significant territory.
