US President Donald Trump said on Thursday that any compromise to end the attack on Russia’s Ukraine and Vladimir Putin will not be held in the Alaska meeting on Friday, but in the second, three -way meeting which will also include Ukraine President Volodimir Jailonsci. Trump said that the Alaska meeting will mainly create an atmosphere for the next phase.
Second meeting will be decisive
Talking to Fox News Radio, Trump said, “The second meeting will be very important, because there will be a compromise there. I do not want to use the word ‘divided’, but to some extent it is not even a bad word.” He estimated that the meeting with Putin on Friday is 25% likely to fail.
Importance of Alaska Summit
Alaska meeting will be Putin’s first American visit in 10 years. It will be held on August 15 at Joint Base ElineDorf Richardson, Encourage, Alaska. This place holds historical significance, as Russia sold Alaska to America in 1867 and its western end is beyond the merit with Russia.
Meeting program
According to the Kremlin, the meeting will start from 11:30 am (local time) Trump and Putin’s one -onon conversation, then the delegation level meeting will be held and then a joint press conference. White House Press Secretary Caroline Levit said that it would be a “Lying Exercise” to better understand the intentions of Trump Putin.
American and Ukrainian stance
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said that any peace agreement should include “security guarantee” for Ukraine and hoped for early progress. Recently, Jailonsky discussed five principles with Trump and European leaders, including a ceasefire. However, no Ukrainian officer will be present in the Alaska meeting. Trump said that he would call Jailonsky after meeting Putin.
Possible conditions of Putin
According to the New York Times report, Putin’s terms may include the recognition of Russia’s control over Eastern Ukraine, keeping Ukraine out of NATO, limiting his army and ensuring a Moscow -backed government in Kiev. Trump, who promised to end the war in 24 hours during the election campaign, connects his peace initiative with the ambition to receive the Nobel Peace Prize.
