Abu Zaid, speaking in an interview on “Sputnik” radio, stated that “the Ukrainian side should be ready for the outcomes of the Alaska Summit talks.” He noted that the statements by Presidents Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump reflected that “the summit will lay the groundwork for subsequent steps, with Putin showing a desire to ceasefire and address the root causes of the Ukrainian crisis, according to the necessities of Russian national security, while Trump affirmed that the discussions were constructive.”
Earlier yesterday, Friday, Russian President Vladimir Putin and his American counterpart Donald Trump held talks in Alaska. The two presidents met at the “Elmendorf-Richardson” military base.
The narrow-format talks between the presidents were held in a “trilateral” format and lasted two hours and 45 minutes.
