The summit between U.S. President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska has concluded. The meeting lasted three hours.
THEY FACED THE CAMERAS
No peace emerged from the summit, which also addressed the Ukraine-Russia war. After the summit ended, the two leaders faced the cameras.
In his statements, Russian President Putin said, "Our meeting here was beneficial. I got off the plane and said, 'Good day, neighbor, I'm glad to see you.' There are a few islands and an ocean between us. We have celebrated our common victory together before. We have a shared history, a shared memory. We have had common enemies and fought common wars. I believe that this history will allow us to establish beneficial relations for both sides."
"OUR COUNTRY WANTS THE WAR IN UKRAINE TO END"
Putin said: "We are going through somewhat difficult times this time. The hardest period we have experienced since the Cold War. Eventually, we need to develop these relations. We have met many times. We are in constant communication. One of the key points here was the situation in Ukraine. President Trump wants to mediate on the Ukraine issue. The situation in Ukraine stems from our security threats. Our country has sincere feelings to end this war. However, for us to reach a long-term conclusion, we need to delve into the roots of the conflict. We also want Ukraine's security. I hope to reach a conclusion to ensure peace in Ukraine. We do not want to make agreements behind closed doors that will undermine the developments here.
I want to thank Trump. We had a productive meeting. We also want to reach an agreement regarding Ukraine. Trump says, 'If I had been president in 2022, this war would not have happened.'
"THERE IS NO AGREEMENT AT THE MOMENT"
Donald Trump stated: "I believe we have taken important steps today. We had a very constructive meeting. We agreed on many important issues. There is no agreement at the moment. I will talk to NATO. I will convey what we discussed to Zelensky. We have a great relationship with President Putin."
NOTABLE MOMENTS FROM THE SUMMIT
Meanwhile, the moments that marked the summit occurred just before the meeting. Russian President Putin and U.S. President Trump answered questions from the press before their meeting in Alaska. Putin's response to a journalist's question, "Mr. Putin, will you accept a ceasefire? Will you continue to kill more civilians?" was noteworthy. Putin held his ear as if to say, "I couldn't hear."
