No ceasefire, no breakthrough, no drastic sanctions on Russia, as Donald Trump recently threatened. The meeting between the US president and the Russian dictator, which Europe in particular watched with bated breath, ended without any resolution that could have ended the war in Ukraine.
After less than three hours, late at night, Polish time, the meeting between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin ended . Without a breakthrough, American media and experts point out that Putin achieved his goal during the meeting, having shed the stigma of a pariah —he appeared to be a politician the West talks to, and he faced none of the consequences Trump had previously warned about.
Mylovanov: Ukraine will have to rely on Europe
“There’s a difference in the mood of the Ukrainian public and the military when it comes to the war in Ukraine. The mood in the military is better, but in society it’s worse. Zelensky is in a difficult position right now. I know him, and he’ll be measured and cautious in his dealings with the United States. Ukraine will now have to rely more on Europe and convince the US that Russia isn’t interested in peace at all, ” said Tymofiy Mylovanov, former Ukrainian economy minister and president of the Kyiv School of Economics, on CNN after the Alaska summit.
Bildt: We see a weak and wavering America
Carl Bildt from the European Council on Foreign Relations commented on the meeting between the US president and the Russian dictator in harsher terms.
“What the world sees right now is a weak and wavering America, while Russia is determined to achieve its goals. Trump had a very naive approach to resolving the conflict in Ukraine from the very beginning – I recall his claims that he would end this war in 24 hours. But no strategy followed. This allows Putin to play Trump,” Bildt told CNN.
What we see is depressing. There’s no end to the war, no ceasefire, and we have a weak America.
If Americans supported Ukraine as much as Europe, the end of the war would be closer. The fact that the US is hesitant, and Trump constantly changes his approach, makes it harder to end this war.
Bolton: Putin escaped sanctions
“Trump didn’t lose, but Putin clearly won. Trump left the table with nothing but an announcement that there would be more meetings. Putin managed to escape sanctions, there is no ceasefire. He left with what he wanted to achieve,” said Trump’s former national security adviser, John Bolton.
The New York Times, commenting on the Alaska summit, points out that Putin used the meeting not only to warm relations with the White House, but also to symbolically return to the international arena. ” In less than four hours, he bought himself time , shed the stigma of a pariah, and was welcomed by the US president as a potential peacemaker, offering nothing in return,” the NYT writes.
It was Putin’s first visit to the US in 10 years and his first meeting with the country’s leader since Russia launched a full-scale war against Ukraine in 2022.
We don’t have a weak America, we have a totally weak POTUS. putler might think of this as a victory, but Europe still holds huge amounts of mafia land cash, and sanctions. Europe are not going to roll over like TACO, quite the opposite in fact.
It’s more then just a weak POTUS I have a list of adjectives and adverbs that describe the current occupant of the WH but what’s the use.
Id welcome back Carter at this point.
I never liked Carter, but I would welcome him back wholeheartedly. NO other POTUS has ever been as bad as the current gangster.
If only our Congress was functional. But, it’s just as spineless as their orange master.

I don’t see how Bolton figures the annoying orange didn’t lose in this.
Some people are trying to see the positive side about this. I’m not sure why Bolton sees anything positive that the orange gangster and the war criminal agree on. It’s never anything good.
