On board the aircraft on the way to Anchoridge Trump, he said that he would be unhappy if Putin could not reach a truce. But after three hours of negotiations, he was forced to utter the phrase: “Until the contract has been concluded, it is not.” His expression was puzzled, the publication says.
“BBC News Ukraine” notes that contrary to the protocol, Putin began the briefing first and only then the owner of the meeting was taken by the word Trump. After their statements, both politicians left the hall, not giving the opportunity to raise the question to reporters, many of whom drove half of the world to get to the meeting.
“In the dry remnant we see the victory of Russia,” the publication says. The media explains that the Russian Federation managed not only to withdraw from the international isolation of its leader, who began the war against Ukraine, but also to avoid the introduction of sanctions in the near future.
CNN calls the Trump and Gutin summit “toless.”
Leading CNN Farid Zakaria notes that there were many disgusting moments during this summit – the red carpet, a warm atmosphere of reception – but the deal was not achieved. According to him, this is a positive moment, since there were fears that Trump would make serious concessions to Putin and betray Ukraine and Europe.

“Donald Trump is a clear loser. It seems that he did not receive anything in return for trying his best to welcome the Russian leader,” said Dominic Vaghorn, editor of the Sky News International Relations.
Putin achieved many of his goals, simply having received an invitation to meet Trump, writes The Washington Post (the article is open for subscribers, it is quoted by NV). Putin's visit gave him a chance to express his frequently repeated thoughts of what he calls the “indigenous reasons” of the war – supposedly the “threat of Russian security” from “hostile Ukraine”. Journalists noticed that when Putin pronounced these words, Trump looked tired and even bored.
