Trump once more advocates for a truce in Ukraine
Donald Trump, the US President, met with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Anchorage, but the historic summit did not result in a call for a ceasefire or peace agreement regarding Ukraine.
Before the meeting, Trump had expressed his desire for a ceasefire in Ukraine, implying a collaborative approach with Europe in negotiations with Putin. However, he also clarified that Europe does not dictate his actions.
Trump further emphasised that Europe would be part of the negotiations process with Putin, but he did not specify the terms of the proposed ceasefire. He also indicated that Europe's involvement in the negotiations process is important.
Despite the discussions, no concrete agreements were reached to halt the conflict in Ukraine. The location of the meeting in Anchorage did not result in a ceasefire agreement.
Trump expressed his dissatisfaction if a ceasefire in Ukraine is not achieved. The efforts towards Ukraine peace talks remain elusive, and no direct talks between Putin and Ukraine’s Zelensky have materialized, according to recent reports.
The summit's outcome regarding a ceasefire in Ukraine was not set in stone, and nothing about it was guaranteed to occur on the day of the meeting. Trump's statement suggests a degree of independence in his decision-making process, indicating a balance between independence and collaboration in the negotiations process.
