🇺🇸🇷🇺 PUTIN AND TRUMP CONCLUDED THEIR JOINT PRESS CONFERENCE IN ALASKA
🤝 Putin rated the meeting as 'constructive and useful', emphasizing that Russia and the USA are 'neighbors', separated by an ocean. He claimed that relations are at their lowest level since the Cold War, but sees the Trump administration's willingness to help resolve tensions in Ukraine.
Trump described the meeting, which lasted almost 3 hours, as 'very productive'. He said he would call Zelensky and NATO leaders to inform them. 'We reached many points of agreement regarding Ukraine,' but added: 'There is no deal until there is a deal.'
🚫 Zelensky WAS NOT invited to the summit. He posted a video during the negotiations: 'Russia continues to kill while negotiating. Any decision made without Ukraine is a decision against peace. These are dead decisions.'
Key details: This is Putin's first trip to the USA in 10 years. They met at the Elmendorf-Richardson military base with flags and a sign that read 'Pursuing Peace'. Trump threatened 'serious consequences' if Putin does not agree to a ceasefire by August 15.
