TRUMP SAID "IT DEPENDS ON ZELENSKY"

Trump evaluated the summit held in Alaska in an interview with American Fox News.

Trump stated that they could not reach an agreement in his meeting with Putin, saying: "This meeting was very productive. We really made significant progress. We reached agreements on many issues. Not too many, there are one or two important issues that need to be resolved, but I think they can be solved. However, we have not fully agreed on a few important issues yet. There are still a few important issues that we have not fully agreed on, but we have made some progress."

Trump indicated that a meeting could be held between Putin and Zelensky in the future, saying, "A meeting will be organized between Zelensky and Putin, and I will also participate. If they want, I will be there at the next meeting. I want to make this happen, and our chances of succeeding are quite high."

Regarding the involvement of Zelensky and European leaders in the upcoming process, Trump stated, "Now it is entirely up to President Zelensky to handle this. European countries should also be a little involved, but it depends on Zelensky."

Trump also expressed that he does not consider imposing sanctions on Russia while the ongoing talks are making progress.

THE NEXT MEETING MAY BE IN RUSSIA

Trump expressed hope for productive meetings with Russia in the future, saying, "We will prevent thousands of people from being killed every week, and President Putin wants this as much as I do."

Trump, who told Putin, "We will probably meet soon," responded to the Russian leader's question, "In Moscow?" with "that is possible."

A FIRST IN 16 YEARS MAY OCCUR

After Putin's invitation to Moscow, all eyes turned to the definitive decision Trump will make. The last time Russia was visited by a sitting US president was in 2009 by then-President Barack Obama. Since then, no US president has visited Moscow due to the tensions between the two countries.
