What does a summit for Trump, Putin and Ukraine mean

US President Donald Trump and his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin left Alaska without reaching the ceasefire agreement in Ukraine.

After almost a three -hour meeting, the leaders made a joint statement in the media before leaving the questions.

Three BBC correspondents, who are in an ancoridge at the summit, estimate what it means for US and Russian leaders, as well as what is happening in the war in Ukraine.

According to North America’s correspondent Anthony Tsarcher

“There will be nothing until there is no deal,” Donald Trump said at the beginning of his remarks after pleasure here in the anchridge.

It was a carousel way to admit that after hours of negotiations there was no deal. No ceasefire. Nothing material report.

The President said he and Vladimir Putin made “great progress”, but with small details that it may be, it remains in the fantasy of the world.

“We didn’t get there,” he said later before leaving the room without accepting any questions from hundreds of journalists collected.

Trump has gone a long way to make such vague statements, even if European allies and Ukrainian officials can get rid of, he did not offer unilateral concessions and agreements that could blow up future talks.

For a person who likes to talk to himself as a peacemaker and a deal, it turns out that Trump will leave Alaska with any.

Also, there is also no sign that the future summit, which includes the President of Ukrainian Valodimir Zelensky, is “next time in Moscow”, despite the next meeting.

While Trump had less map during these negotiations than Ukraine or Russia, he still put into a dent to his home and international prestige after he had previously promised that there was only 25% of failure at this meeting.

Moreover, the president had to move the obvious badge when Putin launched because of the press conference-it was not with broad introductory remarks. It was a noticeable difference than a regular routine in the oval office when the US president usually holds a court and his foreign colleague looks without comment.

While Alaska is an American territory, Putin seemed more at home in the fact that his officials like to celebrate, once the “Russian America” before the sale of the 19th century. This can eat the US president in the coming days, as well as pressing the lighting that will present this summit as a flop.

Currently, the main question – one of the journalists could not ask on Friday – whether Trump will resolve his very threats to new sanctions on Russia as punishment.

The president partially addressed the fact that the friendly restrictions on the interview of Fox News before the departure said that he considered such a step “perhaps two weeks, three weeks”. But, given that the president promised “serious consequences” when Russia does not move to ceasefire, such a non -specific answer can push more questions than answers.

If the “press conference” is not a press conference?

If there are no questions.

A sensitive surprise appeared in the hall when Presidents Putin and Trump left the podium as soon as they made statements – without accepting any questions.

Members of the Russian delegation also quickly left the room without answering one of the questions that journalists shouted at them.

Clear signs that when it comes to war in Ukraine, Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump still have a big difference in opinions.

Donald Trump pushes for the Russian ceasefire. Vladimir Putin did not give him him.

Previously, there was a completely different mood that day. President Trump rolled out a red carpet for Vladimir Putin, considering the Kremlin leader as a guest.

The Russian president received his moment in geopolitical attention, sharing the stage with the leader of the most powerful country in the world.

But how will Trump react to what happened? He still failed to convince Putin to stop the war in Russia.

Previously, he threatened a tougher approach to Russia, with ultimatums, terms and warnings on more sanctions when Moscow ignored the ceasefire.

He didn’t follow.

Will he be?

Following

It has just happened in an an angridge, may feel anti -climate for many, but in Kiev there will be a relief that the “transaction” will not be announced, which will cost the Ukrainian territory.

The people of Ukraine will also know that all their key deals with Russia are over, so even if it was here in the Ancoridge, they would be skeptical.

However, the Ukrainians will be disturbed by the fact that when jointly before the media, Vladimir Putin talked again about the “root cause” of the conflict and said that only their removal would lead to a strong peace.

Translated from the Kremlin, it means that he is still determined to pursue the original purpose of his “special military operation” is to dismantle Ukraine as an independent state. For three and a half years, Western efforts could not force him to change his mind, and this now includes a summit in Alaska.

The uncertainty stored after the meeting also worries. What will happen next? Will the Russian attacks continue not strengthened?

For the last few months, the continuity of the Western terms that came and passed without consequences, and threats that have never been carried out. Ukrainians see this as Putin’s invitation to continue their attacks. They can see the obvious lack of progress made in the same light.
