Putin Says Talks with Trump Bring Decisions Closer
Russian President Vladimir Putin met with U.S. President Donald Trump in Anchorage, Alaska. This was their first face-to-face meeting since the Ukraine war escalated. The summit focused on possible solutions to the conflict but ended without any formal agreement or ceasefire.
Putin’s Reflections
After the meeting, Putin described the discussions as very frank. He said that such openness had moved both countries “closer to making the right decision” about Ukraine. Putin added that the talks addressed the root causes of the conflict, which he considered vital for future progress.
No Formal Deals — Just Understanding
Despite a positive tone, no concrete agreement was reached. Trump stated that “there’s no deal until there’s a deal,” signaling that more discussions will be needed. Both leaders acknowledged progress in developing an “understanding,” though details remained unclear. Key issues, such as territorial control and Ukraine’s sovereignty, are still unresolved.
