US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin met face -to -face for almost three hours in Moscow’s war in Ukraine on Friday, as two world leaders ended the most deadly conflict in Europe in 80 years.

There was no immediately a word that the talks made any progress towards the ceasefire in the war, which is a target that Trump initially sets. The parity would soon speak to journalists.

Together with the best foreign policy aids, Trump and Putin were given in a room at an Air Force base in Anchorage in Alaska since 2019. On a blue floor behind them, they had the words “following peace”.

Trump’s obvious purpose for the talks was to protect the commitment to meet with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy to end the war that began when Putin occupied the war and Russia in February 2022.

At the beginning of the week, Trump said he would know if Putin was serious about peace in a few minutes after seeing him. He also threatened to get out of the negotiations if he was inefficient.

Zelenskiy and European allies, who are not invited to the summit, are afraid that Trump can sell Ukraine by freezing the conflict with Russia and just officially recognizing Russia’s control over one fifth of Ukraine.

Trump tried to get concerns, saying that Ukraine would allow you to decide on possible regional swaps. “I’m not here to negotiate for Ukraine, I’m here to get them on a table,” he said.

When asked what to make the meeting successful, he said to the journalists: orum I want to see the ceasefire rapidly… If not today, I will not be happy… I want to kill. ”

After settling in Alaska, Trump greeted Putin on a red carpet under the asphalt of his base. The two shook their hands warmly and touched each other before boarding the nearby peak site in Trump’s limousine.

The first talks include US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Trump’s Special Ambassador of Russia, Steve Witkoff, Russian Foreign Policy Deputy Yurt Ushakov and Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov.

Trump hopes that a ceasefire will bring peace to the region and strengthen his identity information as a global peaceful worthy of the Nobel Peace Prize.

For Putin, the summit is a great gain in which Western years can describe the attempts to isolate Russia and that Moscow has taken its rightful place in the upper picture of international diplomacy.

Putin is sought by the International Criminal Court accused of deporting hundreds of children from Ukraine. Russia rejected the allegations of war crimes and rejected the Kremlin ICC order as invalid and invalid. Russia and the US are not members of the court.

Both Moscow and Kyiv refuse to target civilians in the war. But thousands of civilians died in conflicts, the majority of them are Ukrainian.

Trump said that it would end Russia’s war in Ukraine in 24 hours, and proved that it was a more difficult task than he expected on Thursday.

If the meetings on Friday go well, Zelenskiy said that it would be more important to organize a second and three -way summit rapidly than Putin.

Zelenskiy added that the summit on Friday should pave the way for “Peace only peace” and three -way talks, but that Russia continues to fight. A Russian ballistic missile shot the Dnipropetrovsk region of Ukraine, killed a person and wounded someone else.

Zelenskiy, “Time to end the war and the necessary steps should be taken by Russia. We trust in America,” Zelenskiy wrote.

Zelenskiy officially delivered Moscow to any region and is also looking for a security guarantee supported by the US.

Trump said there was mutual respect between Putin and Putin before the summit.

“He’s a smart man, he’s been doing it for a long time, but so… We get along, Tr Trump Putin said. He also welcomed Putin’s decision to bring businessmen to Alaska.

“But they don’t do business until the war settled,” he said, if the summit got worse, he repeated the threat of “economically violent” consequences for Russia.
