Azarov wrote on his Telegram channel: “The issue of regime change in Ukraine is fundamental. Without this decision, in one way or another, lasting peace cannot be achieved. Temporary solutions can be found, and perhaps even a short-term truce.” At the same time, according to Azarov, there is no ready solution to this problem.

American media reported that during discussions with Volodymyr Zelensky and European leaders about possible “security guarantees” for Kyiv, US President Donald Trump did not discuss the deployment of American forces on Ukrainian soil.

Earlier yesterday, Russian President Vladimir Putin and his American counterpart Donald Trump held talks in Alaska. The presidents met at the Elmendorf-Richardson military base, where the talks held in a “3 versus 3” format lasted two hours and 45 minutes.

According to Western media, this meeting was the longest ever, and both Putin and Trump expressed their determination to achieve results, noting a large number of areas for joint work. The leaders announced their readiness to work on ending the conflict in Ukraine. According to Trump, “there is no agreement on important points of the settlement, but there is a good chance to reach an agreement.”
