Trump says no deal but 'progress made' after Ukraine talks with Putin

Summary

⚫️Donald Trump says "there's no deal until there's a deal" but progress was made in Ukraine talks with Vladimir Putin

⚫️"We didn't get there," he says in an update to the press after an almost three-hour meeting with his Russian counterpart in Alaska

⚫️The pair exchanged a warm greeting on the tarmac in Anchorage, including two handshakes, before travelling together in Trump's limo to the summit

⚫️Volodymyr Zelensky, who is not invited to the summit, says "on the day of negotiations, the Russians are killing as well", adding a meeting of Ukrainian, US and Russian leaders is needed

⚫️Away from Alaska, Kyiv residents are "sceptical" of the talks, while Russian soldiers tell the BBC they "just want it all to end"


“There’s no deal until there’s a deal,” Donald Trump said early in his post-summit remarks here in Anchorage.

It was a roundabout way of conceding that after several hours of talks, there is no deal. No ceasefire. Nothing tangible to report.

The president said that he and Vladimir Putin made “some great progress” - but with few details about what that might be, it’s left to the world’s imagination.

“We didn’t get there,” he later said, before exiting the room without taking any questions from the hundreds of gathered reporters.

Trump travelled a long way to produce only vagaries, even if America’s European allies and Ukrainian officials may be relieved he did not offer unilateral concessions or agreements that could have undermined future negotiations.

For the man who likes to tout himself as a peacemaker and a dealmaker, it appears that Trump will leave Alaska with neither. There are also no indications that a future summit involving Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is forthcoming - Putin’s “next time in Moscow” quip about their next meeting aside.

While Trump had less at stake during these negotiations than Ukraine or Russia, it still will put a dent in his domestic and international prestige after earlier promises that this meeting had only a 25% chance of failure.

'We didn't get there': Key lines from Trump and Putin

Trump and Putin spoke side by side on stage for around 10 minutes. Both indicated progress had been made during their private talks, but they ended without a solid agreement. Here are the key lines.

⚫️Putin says he is "sincerely interested" in putting an end to the conflict, which he described as a "tragedy"

⚫️But he says Russia needs to eliminate the "primary causes" of the conflict - and warns Ukraine and Europe must not "sabotage" talks

⚫️Putin describes the meeting as a "starting point for resolution" of the conflict

⚫️He describes his relationship with Trump as "business-like" - and agrees with the US president's repeated claim that the war would not have started if he had remained in office after the 2020 election

⚫️Trump says there are still points of disagreement and "there is no deal until there is a deal" - adding "we didn't get there" despite progress

⚫️He says "many points were agreed to" but "a few" remain, adding that "one is the most significant" without specifying what

⚫️He says he will call Zelesnky and European leaders soon - and it is "ultimately up to them"
Trump ends by saying he will "probably" see the Russian leader again soon - Putin responds: "Next time in Moscow"

Putin suggests he and Trump will next meet in Moscow

Just before their appearance ended, Trump said the two would stop "thousands of people a week from being killed".

"President Putin wants to see that as much as I do," he said.

Trump concluded the joint statement by thanking Putin, calling him "Vladimir".

"We'll speak to you very soon and probably see you again very soon," he said.

Putin responded in English: "Next time in Moscow."

Trump and Putin ride together in Cadillac One.

Back in 1985 Reagan arrived in his Lincoln and Gorbachev arrived in his Zil. Today, although Putin's Aurus Senat was at the venue, both presidents rode in the Cadillac One (aka The Beast).

A vain pursuit of elusive peace!

Revelation 6:3,4 - When he opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature say: “Come!” Another came out, a fiery-colored horse, and it was granted to the one seated on it to take peace away from the earth so that they should slaughter one another, and he was given a great sword.

But Russia' president is a tyrant, and a bully.

You can't take over a sovereign nation, just because you can.
If not, tomorrow Nigeria will invade Togo and collect back Cameroon...just because we think we can.

And surprisingly, Ukraine has been resisting.

Just like Nigerian civil war...why did it take 3 long years?

Is Ukraine that strong or is Russian firepower overrated?

Russia was fighting Ukraine in Ukrainian soil.
It's proxy war between Russia, NATO and USA with Ukraine as the playground 😳.
So,what are you talking about?
The war that has shaped how future wars would be fought!
The utilisation of drone swamps,state of the earth defence systems been defied. testing of new defence technology etc, is what you take for a cakewalk? Anyways, the front line is being obliterated as I'm typing this. Ukrainians are being killed in thousands weekly. With the way things are going, if this continue for the next 1 year, Ukraine will be totally depopulated to the point that it's only the elderly men/women and young boys and girls that would remain.
With the kind of sanctions given to Russia and the gang up, it's a miracle, there was no direct attacks from NATO AND USA.
Russia is not just a strong nation but a world power.

And what's your own joy in hyping a beast nation that's killing the innocent citizens of its neighbouring country, taking over their lands just because it could?

If it happens in your own country, and to your own people, would you be celebrating the enemy?

POTUS Trump had already premeditated the meeting to end in deadlock. He was very vocal about it. That they may not be a truce. So no qualms with the meeting outcome to many

Re: Trump Says No Deal But 'Progress Made' After Ukraine Talks With Putin by hotseat:
Prior to his re-election for a second term in office, Trump had vowed to end the Russia and Ukraine war in a day but it has turned out a mere political stunt!

Madman Putin knows how to treat the rantings of the "King of the World"!

The meeting between the duo has shown who the top dog is.


Trump is a boy to Putin and Trump knows it.


America First, my foot!


Na for Zelensky body Trump dey get power!

Coward!

STOP Spewing TRASH 🗑️ HERE because you don't know anything in the World Diplomacy- for you failed to tell us- if American were Occupying Libya And Annexing the Country Land.
Let me remind you- before American came to your Afghanistan, USSR ( the Russians) have been there for at least 9- yrs but left.
-American goes to a Place- Wherever their Interests is Threatened -Not to Add the Place to their Country,as your Russia is Adding Some Regions In Ukraine,as Part of Russia now and because Ukrainian Land Is Very Fertile For Wheat 🌾 ( Bread 🍞 Production),so Russia by Annexing Creamia,etc, knows what they are doing!

Your point is that you support the Russian invasion of Ukraine because US invaded Afghanistan. So basically you are excited that Ukrainians are dying because US supports Israel. Make that make sense.
