ANCHORAGE, United States, August 14, – U.S. President Donald Trump’s recent meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska appears to have yielded tentative progress, according to reports compiled from multiple international media via Google News.
Sources familiar with Kremlin discussions suggest that both sides may have found some common ground. “Apparently, some terms will be agreed upon because Trump cannot be refused, and we are not in a position to refuse due to sanctions pressure,” said one source, who spoke on condition of anonymity due to the sensitive nature of the talks.
The meeting focused on the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict, with Putin maintaining stringent conditions for a full ceasefire. One possible compromise under discussion could involve a temporary truce in the air war, although verification procedures remain a critical point.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy has criticized Moscow for attempting to delay U.S. secondary sanctions, while firmly rejecting any formal transfer of territory. Trump indicated that territorial arrangements could potentially help break the negotiation deadlock. Beyond land issues, Ukraine continues to request a security guarantee backed by Washington, though the exact terms and U.S. role remain unresolved.
Observers note that Putin’s earlier demands include the withdrawal of Ukrainian forces from parts of Donetsk, Zaporizhzhia, and Kherson regions, along with Kyiv officially abandoning NATO aspirations and declaring neutrality. Ukraine has described these demands as equivalent to capitulation.
The Alaska meeting is being closely watched internationally, with analysts highlighting its potential to influence future negotiations and broader U.S.-Russia relations. The discussions represent a significant step in exploring diplomatic pathways to end the conflict and strengthen global stability.
