Russian President Vladimir Putin has invited U.S. President Donald Trump to Moscow for the next round of peace talks, following their summit in Alaska. While no formal deal was reached, both sides highlighted progress.
Trump described the discussions as “extremely productive,” stressing improved cooperation. Putin agreed, calling them “results-oriented” and saying the meeting laid “groundwork for future breakthroughs.”
The summit ended with symbolism. Putin said, “Next time in Moscow,” extending an invitation. Trump, half-joking but cautious, admitted a trip could spark political fallout but did not rule it out.
European leaders reacted quickly. Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban praised the summit as making the world “a safer place,” reflecting hopes for easing the war in Ukraine. Afterward, Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky joined NATO and EU leaders in a transatlantic call to maintain unity.
Zelensky later endorsed a trilateral U.S.-Russia-Ukraine meeting, stressing that Ukraine’s interests must remain central. He is also preparing to visit Washington for talks with Trump on the structure of future negotiations. Despite the lack of concrete agreements in Alaska, cautious optimism from all sides has given momentum to continued dialogue.
