Putin After Alaska talks — ready to work on Ukraine’s security

Talks between US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin have concluded in Alaska. The outcome of the talks can generally be characterized as "agreed to agree".

Recognition of Ukraine's security and a meeting in Moscow

As US journalists noted, Putin was given the opportunity to open the final press conference, a task that is usually reserved for the president of the host country (in this case, Trump).

Neither Trump nor Putin announced an agreement or ceasefire. Additionally, the presidents refused to answer questions from the press.

However, during his speech, Putin said he was ready to work on Ukraine's security.

"And I agree with President Trump, as he said today, that, of course, Ukraine's security must also be ensured. Of course, we are ready to work on this," the Russian dictator said.

However, Putin has not forgotten his old mantra of "one people". He told reporters, "We have always considered the Ukrainian people — and I have said this many times — a brotherly people".

The Russian dictator cynically noted that, for Russia, everything happening in Ukraine is a "real tragedy".

Putin invited Trump to Moscow, and Trump said, "It is quite possible that this will happen".

The US president said that the two leaders agreed on "many points", but some issues remain unresolved. Next, Trump plans to call NATO allies and Volodymyr Zelensky.
