Trump–Putin Alaska Summit Ends Without Breakthrough
The highly anticipated Alaska summit between US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin ended after three hours of intense talks with no concrete agreement.
Trump admitted, “We didn’t get there,” signaling that a ceasefire in Ukraine remains out of reach. Putin described the meeting as “a reference point,” hinting at a possible path forward but offering little substance.
For Ukraine, the war continues with no relief in sight. The failure to secure even a temporary truce means the human cost will keep climbing. Millions remain displaced, frontline cities face destruction, and international pressure for peace grows louder.
The US framed the meeting as an attempt to slow the war and reduce global risks, but the absence of results raises doubts about whether either side is ready to compromise. Diplomats warn that without sustained negotiations, the conflict could harden into another “frozen war,” leaving Ukraine trapped in endless suffering.
This summit may be over, but the stakes remain enormous. The future of Ukraine and Europe’s security is still hanging in the balance.
