Chairman of the Democratic Minority in the US Senate Chuck Schmer sharply criticized the meeting Between US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin, DPA reported on Saturday, TASR writes. “Donald Trump today spread a red carpet for the autocratic villain Vladimir Putin,” It is stated in Schumer’s statement.
Although Details of the content of the conversation between Trump and Putin will still appear, It seems that the US President granted Russia legitimacy on the international scene and did not require any responsibility – and in exchange he received nothing, Schmer said and added: “I’m afraid it wasn’t diplomacy, but a pure theater.”
“Putin got his red carpet, Trump didn’t get anything,” He also wrote the German diplomat Wolfgang Ischinger. “As you might be worried: no ceasefire, no peace. No real progress – clearly 1: 0 for Putin – no new sanctions. For the Ukrainians: nothing. For Europe: deep disappointment,” added Ischinger.
Lithuanian Minister of Defense The permanent jacklings commented on Putin’s warning so that Kiev and its European allies do not “disturb the progress” of peace talks. Putin also reminded that Russian requirements include “a fair balance in Europe”.
Saganium described these Putin’s words as manipulation, efforts to gain power and control and hidden threats. She recalled that on the day of the summit in Alaska, Russia continued to attack Ukraine. “
“The problem is Russian imperialism, not the desire of Ukraine to live freely. … If Putin meant it seriously with peace conversations, he would not attack Ukraine all day,” He wrote Lipavský on the network X. Also The Washington Post (WP) wrote on Saturday that Putin won in Alaska – regardless of the outcome of the negotiations with Trump.
According to WP, a visit to Alaska Putin gave the opportunity to increase its impact on Trump and delay the possible introduction of secondary sanctions. WP also noticed that Trump welcomed Putin as a hero, but a few hours later, during their joint performance, the US President was unusually brief and he was depressing.
The American media, which had previously monitored the preparations and the Trump-Putin summit itself in Anchorage, emphasized the lack of details of the progress on the negotiations. According to Axios, “Trump’s conclusion seems to be that this meeting was successful”.
The Hill also wrote that Trump has informed “progress at key points” without specifying what points they were or what differences they persist in the settlement of Ukraine leveling. The Bloomberg agency noted that Despite the long interviews, none of the leaders did not provide clear details of his discussions, nor did he indicate whether they found common ground.
