It is safe to say that the Alaska gathering has passed in a friendly atmosphere. Donald Trump welcomed Vladimir Putin as a good friend, not a war criminal. Just as pleasant as the welcome was besides the backroom farewell of both politicians. We know small about the talks themselves for the time being, although after the press conference it seems that Putin has gained more than Trump on a journey to Alaska.
World media ruthless. Vladimir Putin above Donald Trump
Summing up the talks that lasted nearly 3 hours, both presidents stressed that they wanted to end the war in Ukraine. They besides acknowledged that it was besides crucial for them to reconstruct trade relations on the US-Russia line. Experts and American media assessed the very negative effects of this meeting.
"Wladimir Putin at the Anchorage summit achieved his goal – he returned to the Western interlocutors without making any concessions," concluded the fresh York Times diary clearly. "In little than 4 hours he bought himself time, took off the brand of a pariah and was accepted by the president of the United States as a possible peacemaker, giving nothing in return," added journalists.
"Trump did not lose, but Putin clearly won," said John Bolton, erstwhile advisor to Donald Trump for national security, as quoted by CNN. "Putin achieved most of what he wanted. Trump achieved very little," added the expert.
Experts agree. The Trump-Putin gathering had no effect
Other experts besides talked about the fruitlessness of the 3-hour talks in Alaska. "The gathering of the Presidents of the United States and Russia lasted little than 3 hours and did not bring tangible results, apart from Trump's words, that there was advancement in talks about the ceasefire," said Anna Maria Dyner of the Polish Institute of global Affairs for Belarus and the safety policy of the Russian Federation.
Marian Prysiaźniuk, a volunteer of the Ukrainian army, reacted very emotionally to the Trump-Putin meeting. “I can’t watch it, I can’t perceive to it,” he said in a conversation with TVP Info. "It is disgusting that the president of the United States legalized Putin's murderer and we looked at it yesterday," he added.
