US President Donald Trump, Russian President Vladimir Putin, and Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky are accelerating their efforts to seek peace in Ukraine. After the summit held in Alaska, no final agreement was reached, but all sides emphasized that progress had been made at the negotiation table.
Trump: “No Deal Until There’s a Deal”
The US president described his meeting with Putin as “10 out of 10.” However, he acknowledged that no final consensus had been reached yet, particularly on security and territorial issues. Trump stressed that “the final decision belongs to NATO and Ukraine,” adding that he would hold direct talks with Zelensky.
Putin: “We Want to End the Conflict”
Putin stated that the talks were “comprehensive and useful.” Highlighting that US-Russia relations are at their lowest level since the Cold War, he said, “It was necessary to fix the situation.” Putin also emphasized that he agreed with Trump on ensuring Ukraine’s security.
Zelensky: “Ready for Constructive Cooperation”
Zelensky said he had a 90-minute call with Trump and expressed that Ukraine is open to “constructive cooperation.” He voiced support for a potential trilateral meeting and underlined that Europe should be included at every stage. Zelensky is scheduled to travel to Washington on Monday for a face-to-face meeting with Trump.
Outcome of the Summit
The Alaska talks did not result in a ceasefire or a definitive peace agreement, but the willingness to move directly toward peace was clear. Putin stressed that Russia is “sincerely interested” in ending the war, while Trump noted that “many points were agreed upon, with only one or two critical issues unresolved.”
For now, there is relief in Ukraine and Europe that no separate deal was made between the US and Russia without Kyiv’s participation.
