President Donald Trump has failed to secure an agreement from Vladimir Putin to end Russia’s war in Ukraine, falling short in his most significant move yet to stop the bloodshed, even after rolling out the red carpet for the man who started it.

Russian President Vladimir Putin “personally gifted” a Ural bike reportedly valued at $22,000 to a “random” man when he was in Alaska on 15 August to attend a summit with US President Donald Trump.

Russian forces appear to have donned the US flag for a fresh offensive in Ukraine, after American President Donald Trump's summit with Vladimir Putin.

U.S. President Donald Trump said he and Russian President Vladimir Putin did not reach a deal to end Russia’s war in Ukraine after talks in Alaska on Friday, as the two leaders offered scant details on what was discussed but heaped praise on one another.

However U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff revealed that Putin agreed to allow the U.S. and its European allies to offer Ukraine a security guarantee at his meeting with Trump.

As Trump meets Putin in Alaska, Eric Green, who helped organize Biden’s 2021 summit, says Russia’s goals in Ukraine remain unchanged.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump said Monday he has begun arrangements for a face-to-face meeting between Vladimir Putin and Volodymyr Zelenskyy to discuss a pathway to end Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

With Trump adopting Russian points that Ukraine should cede land for a peace deal, Zelenskyy was expected to seek to get the U.S. back on board with his own previous agreement with Western allies

The leaders’ vague, post-meeting press conference demonstrated that “significant roadblocks” stand in the way of peace in Ukraine, several officials suggested Friday.

President Donald Trump shifted focus from a Ukraine ceasefire toward a more comprehensive peace deal following his Alaska meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin, according to Special Envoy Witkoff.

It was not the applause, or the red carpet, or the ride in the Beast that were the biggest gifts offered up to Vladimir Putin at the Alaska summit. President Donald Trump’s greatest favor to his Russian counterpart was time.
