Highlights of Putin statement after summit with Trump

ANCHORAGE, Alaska (Reuters) -Following are key quotes from Russian President Vladimir Putin's statement after meeting U.S. President Donald Trump in Alaska on Friday. Translation by Reuters. ON RUSSIA-U.S. TIES As is known, Russian-American summits have not been held for more than four years. This is a long time. The past period was very difficult for bilateral relations. And, let's be honest, they have slid to the lowest point since the Cold War. And this is not good for our countries, or the world as a whole. Obviously, sooner or later, it was necessary to correct the situation, to move from confrontation to dialogue. And in this regard, a personal meeting of the heads of the two states was really overdue... ON UKRAINE As you well know and understand, one of the central issues has become the situation around Ukraine. We see the desire of the U.S. administration and President Trump personally to facilitate the resolution of the Ukrainian conflict, his desire to delve into the essence and understand its origins. I have said more than once that for Russia the events in Ukraine are associated with fundamental threats to our national security. Moreover, we have always considered and consider the Ukrainian people, I have said this many times, brotherly, no matter how strange that may sound in today's conditions. We have the same roots and everything that is happening for us is a tragedy and a great pain. Therefore, our country is sincerely interested in putting an end to this. But at the same time, we are convinced that in order for the Ukrainian settlement to be sustainable and long-term, all the root causes of the crisis must be eliminated... All of Russia's legitimate concerns must be taken into account, and a fair balance in the security sphere in Europe and the world as a whole must be restored. I agree with President Trump — he spoke about this today — that Ukraine's security must, without a doubt, be ensured. We are ready to work on this. I would like to hope that the understanding we have reached will allow us to get closer to that goal and open the way to peace in Ukraine. We expect that Kyiv and the European capitals will perceive all of this in a constructive manner and will not create any obstacles. That they will not attempt to disrupt the emerging progress through provocation or behind-the-scenes intrigue. ON ECONOMIC TIES It is obvious that Russian-American business and investment partnership has enormous potential. Russia and the United States have something to offer each other in trade, energy, the digital sphere, high tech and space exploration. Cooperation in the Arctic, resumption of interregional contacts, including between our Far East and the American West Coast, also seem relevant... I expect that today's agreements will become a reference point not only for solving the Ukrainian problem, but will also launch the restoration of business-like, pragmatic relations between Russia and the United States. ON COOPERATION WITH TRUMP Overall we have established very good business-like and trusting contact with President Trump. And I have every reason to believe that by moving along this path, we can - the quicker the better - reach an end to the conflict in Ukraine.

Trump Says Talks With Putin ‘Productive' But ‘No Deal' Yet

(Bloomberg) — US President Donald Trump called his meeting with Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin 'extremely productive' but indicated that a deal to end the war had still not been finalized, adding that he would speak to NATO allies and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy. The US-Canadian Road Safety Gap Is Getting Wider Festivals and Parades Are Canceled Amid US Immigration Anxiety A Photographer's Pipe Dream: Capturing New York's Vast Water System To Head Off Severe Storm Surges, Nova Scotia Invests in 'Living Shorelines' Five Years After Black Lives Matter, Brussels' Colonial Statues Remain 'There's no deal until there's a deal,' Trump said Friday in Anchorage, Alaska as he stood alongside Putin for a joint event. Putin spoke first at the event, casting the conversations as useful and said they were held 'in a constructive atmosphere.' He talked of unspecified agreements with Trump, and suggested that Ukraine was only one of multiple issues discussed, pointing to the potential for increased trade and business cooperation as well as work in the Arctic and in space exploration. The event followed the longest ever face-to-face meeting between the two leaders. But despite their extended conversation neither leader provided clear details on their discussion or on where they found common ground, a move that will likely intensify anxiety in European capitals and in Kyiv about an agreement that sidelines their input. 'We had a very productive meeting. There were many, many points that we agreed on — most of them I would say — a couple of big ones that we haven't quite gotten there but we've made some headway,' Trump said, adding that he would discuss the summit's developments with Zelenskiy and allies in NATO. 'I'm going to start making a few phone calls and tell them what happened, but we had an extremely productive meeting and many points were agreed to,' he said. Trump did not specify which points he saw as potentially contentious or that might prove sticking points with Kyiv and allies. 'There are just a very few that are left. Some are not that significant; one is probably the most significant,' he said. 'We didn't get there but we have a very good chance of getting there.' Trump and Putin ended the event, which had been originally billed as a joint press conference, without fielding any questions from reporters. Few Specifics Ahead of the talks European allies expressed anxiety that Trump might concede too much to Putin or strike a broad deal that involves exchanges of territory without the consent of Kyiv. While Trump and Putin did not detail any agreements that might cement those fears, those worries are likely to intensify. Samuel Charap, a senior political scientist at the global policy think tank RAND, described the event as 'a lot of upbeat vibes with very little by way of specifics,' in an interview. 'It sounds like there were specifics discussed, based on what Trump said,' Charap added. 'Neither of them gave away any substance. It was a very disciplined press conference for Trump. He stuck to his message, which was clearly agreed that they would not reveal any details.' The press event, with Trump standing side-by-side with a leader who has been an international pariah since launching a full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022 capped a stunning day. While Trump had downplayed expectations for the summit in its run-up, even insisting aboard Air Force One en route to the meeting that he would 'walk away' if the talks did not go well, he spoke with Putin for more than two-and-a-half hours — a session longer than their 2018 summit discussions in Helsinki. Putin said it was important for countries to 'turn the page.' He also closed by indicating in English that Trump should meet him 'next time in Moscow,' a suggestion the US president did not immediately reject. 'Oh, that's an interesting one. I'll get a little heat on that one, but I could see it possibly happening,' Trump said. Friday's summit opened with a highly-choreographed spectacle that saw Trump greet Putin on American soil, the Russian leader's first visit to the US in nearly a decade. The two met on the tarmac, with Trump clapping as Putin approached and welcoming him with a warm handshake and a pat on the arm. A flyover that included a B-2 bomber offered a show of force by the US but Trump was also seen putting his hand on Putin's back and engaging in friendly conversation before the two departed in the president's own limousine to the summit site. That ride allowed Putin to speak directly to Trump without aides present, giving him valuable time with the US leader, even though the White House had sought to highlight how plans for a one-on-one meeting between the two had been scrapped for a three-on-three with other officials present. Ahead of the summit, Trump had sought to reassure allies that he would not negotiate the swap of territories at the summit and kept the door open to security guarantees for Europe. 'I've got to let Ukraine make that decision,' Trump said of land swaps. 'I'm not here to negotiate for Ukraine. I'm here to get them at the table.' For Putin, Friday offered a chance to reset relations between Washington and Moscow and suggests that his charm offensive ahead of the summit may pay dividends. The Russian leader is also eager to divide the US from Europe and seek sanctions relief for an economy at home that may be on the verge of slipping into a recession. The Russian president had offered only maximalist demands for territory and refused calls to halt the fighting, frustrating Trump's vow to quickly end the war. Putin sees little incentive to stop the fighting, confident that his military holds a dominant position on the battlefield as it slowly advances in a brutal, grinding war. —With assistance from Derek Wallbank, Eric Martin and Josh Wingrove.

All eyes on the Trump-Putin Alaska summit

The two world leaders met for about three hours alongside senior Russian and U.S. officials, including Secretary of State Marco Rubio and special envoy Steve Witkoff, and two Russian aides – shifting from a previously planned one-on-one summit between Trump and Putin. Afterward, they took to podiums in front of a blue backdrop that read 'Pursuing Peace,' speaking to reporters in a highly anticipated joint appearance. Putin began speaking first, in Russian, telling the audience that negotiations were held in a ' respectful, constructive and mutually respectful atmosphere,' and that he agrees that the security of Ukraine should be ensured. ' I agree with Trump that the security of Ukraine must be secured, and of course, we are ready to work on that,' he said, adding that he hopes that the agreement reached between Washington and Moscow 'will help us bring closer that goal and will pave the path towards peace in Ukraine.' Putin also proposed Moscow as the next location for any future meeting with Trump. 'That's an interesting one, I'll get a little heat on that one,' Trump replied. 'But I could see it possibly happening.' When it was his turn to speak, Trump spent a portion of his time lamenting that he has 'always had a fantastic relationship' with Putin, but that it was impeded by investigations during his first term into Russia's interference in the 2016 U.S. presidential election. 'We had many, many tough meetings, good meetings. We were interfered with by the Russia, Russia, Russia hoax. I've made it a little bit tougher to deal with, but he understood it,' Trump said. He also offered little as to whether anything was agreed to or not in the talks, noting that ' there's no deal until there's a deal.' 'I will say that I believe we had a very productive meeting. There were many, many points that we agreed on, most of them, I would say, a couple of big ones that we haven't quite gotten there. We've made some headway. So, there's no deal until there's a deal,' the president said. Ahead of the meeting, Trump said that he has a 'good idea' of what Ukraine would like to see from the summit. ' It's not for me to negotiate for Ukraine, but I think I have a pretty good idea what they'd like to see, and what's good and what's not good,' the president said during his interview with Fox News' 'Special Report' with host Bret Baier. But Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, who was excluded from the talks, said Russia has no intention to end the war soon. 'The war continues, and it is precisely because there is neither an order nor even a signal that Moscow is preparing to end this war. On the day of negotiations, they are killing as well. That speaks volumes,' he said in a video posted to X.
