Putin-Trump meets: 'Progress' but no Ukraine agreement Non-Alaska Summit in Ten Key Points
Russian President Vladimir Putin met US President Donald Trump in Anchorage, Alaska, on Friday to discuss the war in Ukraine. After the ‘historical’ meeting, Putin said he wanted the ’cause of the conflict’ to be eliminated. Meanwhile, Trump said he and Putin did not reach an agreement to end the war in Ukraine. “There is no agreement before there is an agreement,” Trump said. Trump and Putin seem to offer a vague version of the Alaska meeting that spans about two and a half hours. Here are the top 10 important take-away meals of the Alaska Summit and the Putin Trump Pers Conference After Alaska Summit: 1. Putin has not had no words to acknowledge that the US and Russia relationship has fallen to the ‘lowest point’ since the Cold War. “Sooner or later we had to edit the situation to go from confrontation to dialogue …”, he said. 2. Putin said that the meeting in Alaska was not only historical, but “a necessity” after four difficult years of no bilateral meeting. He said the similarities reached today may just be the first step on the road to peace in Ukraine. 3.. “We are sincerely interested in terminating conflict. But all causes must be eliminated, and all Russia’s concerns must be taken into account,” Putin said at the joint press conference with Trump on Friday. 4. Putin said: “Today’s similarities will help us to restart pragmatic relations.” He thanks Trump for his ‘friendly’ tone and ‘result -oriented’ approach. 5. Putin said that Ukraine conflict would not have happened if Trump was president. Trump maintained that the war in Ukraine, which began during the Biden Administration, would not have begun if he were the president at the time. 6. Donald Trump said, “There is no agreement until there is an agreement …” He said he had “an extremely productive meeting” with Putin, and it was agreed that there were many points. But “There are only a few that are left.” 7. ‘Progress’, but no Ukraine agreement: However, Trump claimed that ‘we really made a great progress’. He said: ‘I believe we had a very productive meeting. There were many, many points we agreed to … there is no agreement until there is an agreement.
