Not produced three hours of conversations between the White House and the Kremlin leaders at the Alaska air base, but Trump and European leaders said they wanted a new summit that includes Ukraine President Volodimir Zelinsky.

Zelinski will now go to Washington on Monday, while European leaders said they are ready to intensify sanctions against Russia after Trump informed them of the summit.

Trump remained optimistic, describing the summit as a “great and successful day in Alaska!” In fact, the real social. The US President added that European leaders support his plan for a new summit.

He added: “This has been determined by everything that the best way to end the terrible war between Russia and Ukraine is to go directly to a peace agreement, which will end the war, and not just a ceasefire agreement, which does not escalate often.”

Monday’s meeting with Zelensky confirmed that he hoped to follow the Trump Putin -Zelinsky Summit. “It is possible that millions of people’s lives will be rescued,” Trump commented.

Before the summit, Trump warned of “severe consequences” if Russia did not accept the ceasefire.

When asked about this by Fox After the talks, Trump said, “Because of what happened today, I think I don’t have to think about it now.”

Putin has repeatedly said that a complete peace agreement could stop the war he requested in February 2022, which left tens of thousands of dead and fallen in Ukraine.

Putin has once again talked about the treatment of “root causes” of the conflict at the top, and some analysts said that Trump may have gave up the ground.

“In the face of what appears to be Putin’s stone, lectures on history or other dodges, Trump again, said.” Trump, Trump, said.

The White House said that with a return to Washington, Trump spoke first with Zelinski.

Officials said British Prime Minister Kiir Starmer, French President Emmanuel Macron, German Chancellor Friedrich Mirz, NATO General Mark Retti, European Commission President Ursula von der Lien and other European leaders joined the call.

The Europeans, who were cautious about the Alaska meeting, held their private talks on Saturday and then expressed their support for a new summit.

Their statement did not mention the ceasefire, only the need for more measures to force Russia for “a just and lasting peace.”

They said: “As long as the killing continues in Ukraine, we are ready to support pressure on Russia. We will continue to strengthen the wider economic sanctions and measures to pressure the war economy in Russia so that there is a just and lasting peace.”

The war continued despite the summit. Ukraine announced on Saturday that Russia fired 85 aircraft of drones and a ballistic missile during the night. Russia said it took two other villages in Ukraine.

Trump and Putin came out of their talks to present warm words at a 12 -minute press conference, but they did not receive any questions.

“We are not there yet, but we have made progress. There is no deal until there is a deal,” Trump said.

He described the meeting as “very fruitful” with the “many points” agreement, but it did not provide details.

“The next time in Moscow”

Putin also spoke in general terms. “We hope that the understanding that we have reached will be … paving the way for peace in Ukraine.”

Putin has warned Ukraine and European countries against “not creating any obstacles” and not “he tries to attempts to disrupt this progress through provocation or conspiracies behind the scenes.”

Trump also thought about a second meeting, Putin smiled and said in English: “The next time in Moscow.”

Putin warns Western allies

“Now it is up to President Zellinski for his completion,” Trump, whose tone has changed with Zelinski since the Ukrainian leader’s reprimand in February.

Zelensky, who rejected Russian demands that Ukraine abandoned lands, was not invited to Friday talks. But he said on Saturday that he supported American efforts.

“It is important that America’s strength has an impact on the development of the situation,” he said.

In recent days, Russia has achieved the gains of the battlefield, which can strengthen Putin’s hand in any negotiations.

Although Ukraine announced when Putin was flying because he recovered many villages, the Russian army on Saturday claimed the seizure of Colodesi in the Donetsk region of Ukraine and Foreon in the neighboring Dniproptrovsk region.
