Trump, Putin End Short Summit constantly in Ukraine | Russia-Ukraine War News

The meeting of American president Donald Trump with the Vladimir Putin of Russia finished Down Without an agreement on the judgment of the Moscow War against Ukraine, but that gave the Russian president a “diplomatic victory” after years of rejecting by the West, observers said.

The Russian president was welcomed with a red carpet and a warm handshake by President Trump when he arrived in an American air base in Anchorage, Alaska, on Friday while the two leaders arrived for conferences aiming to end the war in Ukraine.

He marked the first time by President Putin on Western soil since he ordered the large -scale invasion of Ukraine in February 20222 and was remarkable in its welcoming atmosphere compared to the icy reception, a hostile asset put in February for the Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy at the White House in February.

Taking a scene to make remarks after talking behind closed doors for less than three hours, the two leaders said they had progressed on unpertified problems, offering no details and taking no questions to a phalanx of international journalists and assembled television cameras.

A visibly Optimistic poutine was the first to speak, telling how he welcomed Trump when he arrived in Anchorage with the lines: “Hello, dear neighbor”, due to the geographic proximity of Alaska to Russia.

“We are close neighbors, and that’s a fact,” said Putin.

Putin said that his meeting with Trump was “expected for a long time” and that he “hoped that the agreement we have managed together will help us bring this goal closer and to open the way to peace in Ukraine”.

“We expect kyiv and the European capitals to perceive him constructively and that they do not throw a key in progress,” said Putin. “They will not attempt any attempt to use certain transactions of the back-shop to make provocations to torpedo the emerging progress,” he said.

Trump then thanked Putin for his “very deep” statement, adding that the two had a “very productive meeting”.

“There were a lot, a lot of points we agreed on. Most of them, I would say. Some big ones that we have not arrived entirely, but we have made progress,” said Trump.

“So there is no agreement as long as there is no agreement,” said Trump, adding that he will now call NATO as well as President Zelenskyy and others to inform them of the meeting.

“It is ultimately their own,” said the president.

“Many points have been accepted,” he continued, without providing details.

“There is very few; some are not so important, we are probably the most important,” said Trump without developing.

“But we have a very good chance of getting there. We did not get there, but we have a very good chance of getting there.”

There was no immediate Kyiv reaction to the summit results, described as “anticlimatic”.

Ukraine’s opposition legislator, Oleksiy Honcharenko, said on the Telegram messaging application after talks: “It seems that Putin has bought himself more time. No cease-fire or de-escalation was agreed.”

Kimberly Halkett of Al Jazeera, postponing anchorage, in Alaska, said that President Trump is likely to present themselves to the criticism of a summit that “all have become many knots about nothing”.

“The only achievements that were really made was that the Russian president was able to continue his war, what we know is now a war of attrition and which promotes the Russian part every day,” said Halkett.

“He bought time,” she said.

Also report by the summit, the diplomatic editor of Al Jazeera, James Bays, said that the European allies of Ukraine – who had put pressure for concrete measures to leave the meeting, as a cease -fire – will probably see the meeting as “a great victory for President Putin”.

“And that raises all kinds of questions about the orientation of diplomacy on Ukraine,” said Bays.

On Friday, Trump ended his comments at the press conference by saying to Putin: “I would like to thank you very much, and we will talk to you very soon and will probably see you again very soon.”

To which Putin quickly rejected: “Next time, in Moscow.”

Trump then replied, saying that he could “get a little warm on this one” but that he could “maybe see him happen”.
