- Putin hopes that the agreements will guide the resolution of the Ukraine conflict.
- Wait that Ukraine, European allies accept the results of Russia Us conversations.
- It is not clear if the conversations produced significant steps towards the high fire.
The president of the United States, Donald Trump, said Friday that he and Russian President Vladimir Putin did not reach an agreement to resolve the Moscow War in Ukraine after a summit of almost three hours in Alaska, although he characterized the meeting as “very productive.”
“There were many, many points that we agreed,” Trump said at a joint press conference with Putin. “I would say that a couple of greats that we don't have there, but we have advanced. So there is no treatment until there is an agreement.”
Trump said he and Putin did not reach an agreement on the “probably more significant” aspect of his meeting, but there was a very good possibility of getting there.
“Many points were agreed. Only a few remain. Some are not so significant. One is probably the most significant, but we have very good chances of getting there. We do not get there, but we have very good possibilities to get there,” Trump told journalists.
Previously, speaking with the press, Putin said he expected the agreements reached at his summit with the president of the United States could be a release pitcher to resolve the Ukraine conflict and restore ties between Russia and the United States.
“I hope that today's agreements become a reference point, not only to solve the Ukrainian problem, but will also launch the restoration of pragmatic and pragmatic relations between Russia and the United States,” Putin said.
He said there was enormous potential for the two countries to build a business and investment association in areas such as energy, technology and space exploration, and in the Arctic.
“I have all the reasons to believe that by advancing on this path, we can reach the end of the conflict in Ukraine as soon as possible,” he said at a joint press conference in which the leaders asked no question.
The Russian president also said that he hoped that Ukraine and his European allies would accept the results of the negotiation of the United States and Russia, warning them not to “torper” the progress towards a resolution.
Putin, however, did not specify what the two parties had agreed.
It was not clear if the conversations had produced significant steps towards a high fire in the deadliest conflict in Europe in 80 years, an objective that Trump had established from the beginning.
Trump and Putin, along with the best foreign policy assistants, conferred in a room at a base of the Air Force in Anchorage, Alaska, at its first meeting since 2019. A blue backdrop behind them had the words “chasing peace” printed on it.
The publicly declared objective of Trump for conversations was to stop the fight and a Putin commitment to quickly meet with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to negotiate the end of the war, which began when Russia invaded his neighbor in February 2022.
Zelensky, who was not invited to the summit, and his European allies feared that Trump could sell Ukraine essentially freezing the conflict and recognizing, if only informally, the informal Russian control over a fifth part of Ukraine.
Trump sought to calm such concerns while approaching Air Force One, saying that he would let Ukraine decide on any possible territorial concession.
“I'm not here to negotiate for Ukraine, I'm here to put them on a table,” he said.
When asked what the meeting is a success, he told journalists: “I want to see the fire quickly … I will not be happy if it is not today … I want the murder to stop.”
Zelensky has formally ruled out delivering any territory to Moscow and is also looking for a security guarantee backed by the United States.
Trump said he would call Zelensky's leaders and NATO to update them about Putin conversations.
Displaying the red carpet
Once on the floor in Alaska, Trump greeted Putin on a red carpet in the asphalt of the base. The two set their hands hot and touched on the arm before riding in Trump's limousine to the nearby summit site.
Trump expects a truce in the 3-1/2-year war that Putin began bringing peace to the region and reinforces his credentials as a global peaceful worthy of the Nobel Peace Prize.
For Putin, the summit is already a great victory that can portray as evidence that the years of Western attempts to isolate Russia have unraveled and that Moscow is taking up its legitimate place in the high table of international diplomacy.
Putin is sought by the International Criminal Court, accused of the crime of war to deport hundreds of children from Ukraine. Russia denies the accusations, and the Kremlin has dismissed the order of the CPI as zero and void. Russia and the United States are not members of the Court.
Both Moscow and Kyiv deny civilians attacked in the war. But thousands of civilians have died in the conflict, the vast Ukrainian majority.
A conservative estimation of dead and wounded in the war in Ukraine, on both sides combined, totals 1.2 million people, said Trump's envoy to Ukraine, Keith Kellogg, three months ago.
The meeting also included the Secretary of State of the United States Marco Rubio; Trump's special envoy to Russia, Steve Witkoff; Russian foreign policy assistant Yury Ushakov; and Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov.
Trump, who once said that Russia War would end in Ukraine in 24 hours, admitted Thursday that he had proven to be a more difficult task than he expected. He said that if Friday's conversations went well, quickly organizing a second three -way summit with Zelensky would be more important than his encounter with Putin.
Zelensky said that Friday's summit should open the way for a “fair peace” and the three -way conversations that included it, but added that Russia continued to fight war. A Russian ballistic missile before hit the Dnipropetrovsk region of Ukraine, killing one person and hurting another.
“It's time to finish the war, and the necessary steps should be taken by Russia. We have the United States,” Zelensky wrote in the Telegram messaging application.
