What does the summit mean for Trump, Putin and Ukraine

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

After a meeting nearly three hours, the leaders made a joint statement to the media before leaving without eating questions.

Three BBC correspondents who are in Marsa at the top evaluate the meaning of American and Russian leaders as well as what is happening in the war in Ukraine.

“There is no deal until there is a deal.”

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

The President said that Vladimir Putin has achieved “some great progress”, but with a few details about what might be, he left the world’s imagination.

He later said, before leaving the room without taking any questions from hundreds of correspondents who were collected, “We did not get there.”

Trump traveled only a long way to produce such mysterious statements, even if European allies in America and Ukrainian officials could feel comfortable, and did not make concessions or unilateral concessions that could undermine future negotiations.

For a man who loves to describe himself as a peace maker and maker, Trump appears to leave Alaska with either of them.

There are also no indications that the future summit includes Ukrainian President Voludmir Zelinski will be coming up, despite his next meeting from Putin.

While Trump was at stake during these negotiations more than Ukraine or Russia, it will continue to put it in its local and international position after it promised earlier that this meeting had a failed chance of only 25 %.

What’s more, the president had to suffer from the apparent insult to stand silent as Putin began at the press conference-and this was not with widespread opening notes. It was a remarkable difference from the natural routine in the Oval Office, when the American president usually carries the court while he looked at his foreign counterpart without comment.

While Alaska is the American territory, Putin seemed more at home while his officials loved to notice that he was “Russian America” before selling it in the nineteenth century to the United States. This may be eaten in the American president in the coming days, as well as the press coverage that will present this summit as fluctuating.

The big question now – one of the correspondents was unable to put it on Friday – whether Trump would decide to impose new sanctions threatened on Russia as punishment.

The president partially addressed that in the friendly border of Fox News before flying, saying that he would look at such a move “perhaps in two weeks, three weeks.” But given that the president promised “severe consequences” if Russia does not move towards the ceasefire, such an unlimited answer may pay more questions than he answers.

When is the “press conference” a press conference?

When there are no questions.

There was a clear surprise in the hall when the presidents left Putin and Trump the platform as soon as they received their data – without eating any questions.

Members of the Russian delegation also left the room quickly without answering any of the questions that journalists have shouted.

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

Donald Trump was pushing for a Russian ceasefire. Vladimir Putin did not give him.

There was a very different Vibi early in the day. President Trump launched the red carpet of Vladimir Putin, where he dealt with the Kremlin leader as a generous guest.

The Russian president got his moment in the political geographical lights, as she participated in the theater with the leader of the world’s most powerful country.

But how will Trump’s reaction to what happened? He was unable to persuade Putin to end the Russian war in Ukraine.

Previously, a more stringent approach to Russia threatened to warn, final dates and warnings related to sanctions if Moscow ignored calls for a ceasefire.

Not followed.

Is he?

What has just happened in Ancorage may feel climate hostile to many, but in Kiev there will be sighs from the absence of an unbearable “deal” that will cost Ukraine’s lands.

Ukraine residents will also know that all their main deals with Russia have ended up, so even if someone here is announced in Ancorage, they were skeptical.

However, the Ukrainians will be concerned about the appearance of the common appearance in front of the media, Vladimir Putin spoke again about the “root causes” of the conflict and said only that their removal would lead to a permanent peace.

It was translated from Kremlin -Speak, and this means that he is still determined to follow the original goal of his “private military operation” – the dismantling of Ukraine as an independent country. Three and a half years of Western efforts have failed to change his opinion, and this now includes the Alaska summit.

The uncertainty that continues after the meeting also worries. What happens after that? Will Russia’s attacks continue unabated?

The past few months have witnessed a series of Western final dates that came and went without consequences, and the threats that have never been implemented. Ukrainians believe this is an invitation to Putin to continue his attacks. They may see that the clear lack of progress achieved the marina in the same light.
