The much-anticipated summit between U.S. President Donald Trump and Russian leader Vladimir Putin ended without achieving any agreements to resolve the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war. The meeting, held at an Alaskan U.S. military base, lasted about two and a half hours, but no conclusive decisions or ceasefire commitments were reached.

Trump and Putin engaged in discussions at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, joined by top aides, but despite positive remarks about the meeting's tone, both left with unfulfilled objectives. Trump noted progress but admitted that significant gaps remained, leaving the potential for resolving the conflict uncertain.

The summit, which included a joint news conference, revealed little about the specifics of their talks. While the leaders praised the historical U.S.-Russia relationship, no clear steps were outlined for moving forward. The absence of a solid agreement has raised questions about what comes next in the diplomatic efforts.
