On August 22, Russian President Vladimir Putin stated that his meeting with US President Donald Trump in Alaska was “rich and candid.” He added that “the full restoration of Russian-American relations does not depend on Moscow, but on our Western partners above all.” Putin said: “I hope very much that the initial steps taken are just the beginning of a comprehensive restoration of our relations. It does not depend on us but on our Western partners in the first degree because the United States is also bound by certain commitments within various alliances, including NATO.”
