The agreement is not concluded until it is concluded," said Donald Trump after gathering Vladimir Putin. The American-Russian summit on the war agreement in Ukraine ended without a breakthrough. However, it was alarming to convince both presidents that everyone else curious in peace negotiations would gotta accept the determination of the power duo.

The gathering of the leaders of the United States and Russia began with symbolic gestures, the meaning of which remains unknown, as neither Donald Dead nor Vladimir Putin commented on them in their statements after the completed talks. First Sergei Lavrow, Russian abroad minister, came to the hotel where a Russian delegation in a hoodie imprinted with "CCCP" (from Russia ZSRS). Later, just before the presidents were greeted on the plane, an American B-2 bomber flew over the base, capable of carrying atomic weapons, with 4 F-35 fighters. After, as the commentators said, a “friendly” welcome, Trump invited his guest to the presidential limousine and both went for the negotiations. Contrary to the announcements, they did not take place in the form of “one-on-one”, both politicians were accompanied by advisors.

The delegation's talks lasted little than planned and after 3 hours the presidents went to the journalists to make their statements. "The negotiations were conducted in a constructive atmosphere of common respect," said Vladimir Putin, which in the language of diplomacy usually means that no advancement has been made. The Russian leader appreciated Trump's efforts to accomplish peace in Ukraine and assured that his country was "sincerely interested" in ending the conflict. However, he stated that the situation in Ukraine is linked to "fundamental threats to Russia's security". "For the agreement to be sustainable and long-term, we must destruct all the main causes of this conflict. We have repeated this many times to take account of all the legitimate concerns of Russia and reconstruct a fair safety balance in Europe and in the world," Putin said.

– I would like to hope that the agreement reached will let us to approach this goal and open the way to peace in Ukraine," Putin said. Unfortunately, he did not explain what kind of agreement this is about. "We hope that Kiev and the European capitals will take this process constructively and will not effort to disrupt it through provocations or backstage intrigues," said the Russian leader. He thus made it clear that he was much more comfortable with the expression of one-on-one negotiations with the United States than with a wider group, with representatives from Ukraine and Europe.
