The meeting between US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin ended without a concrete agreement.
On Friday, the meeting between the two presidents at the joint military base in Anchorage, Alaska, started at 11:30 a.m. local time and lasted until 2:30 p.m.
It was expected that a ceasefire would be agreed upon during their talks. But the international media reported that there was no agreement. However, in the press conference after the discussion, both Trump and Putin said that the talks were positive.
'Some progress has been made, many points have been agreed upon, only a few remain,' said Trump. But he did not reveal what was agreed upon.
Similarly, Putin also said that there was an agreement on some points, but he did not talk about what that agreement was. Putin said, 'We expect that Kiev and the Europeans will take it positively and not create obstacles.'
According to international media, Putin has four positions for a ceasefire in Ukraine. The American magazine New York Times has written that Putin's stance is to transfer large parts of Ukraine under Russian control, reduce the army, exclude Ukraine from NATO and change the government of Ukraine. The media have mentioned that due to his stance, no concrete decision was made regarding the ceasefire.
