The Chinese expert pointed out that “Putin noticed Trump’s sincerity in dealing with bilateral relations and his efforts to resolve the Ukrainian crisis, while Trump seeks to enhance his image as a peacemaker and adept negotiator, focusing on supporting the ceasefire in Ukraine.” The Chinese expert noted that “this means that the understanding between the United States and Russia does not reflect a complete easing of the Western camp’s stance, as according to available data, the volume of European military aid to Ukraine has already exceeded that provided by the United States.” Earlier on Friday, Russian President Vladimir Putin and his American counterpart Donald Trump held talks in Alaska. The presidents met at the “Elmendorf-Richardson” military base. The presidents’ talks were held in a “trilateral” format and lasted two hours and 45 minutes.
