🚨🇷🇺🇺🇸 Putin-Trump Summit in Alaska: What Happened and What’s Next?

A thread🧵

1⃣ Putin said it was HIS initiative to hold meeting with Trump in Alaska, called talks “useful & thorough“

It's quite logical to meet here because “our countries - even though separated by the ocean - are in fact close neighbors.“

2⃣ Putin: Dialogue between Russia and the US was overdue, we need to move away from confrontation

3⃣Putin: Ukraine conflict would’ve NEVER happened if Trump had been President in 2022

The current situation in Ukraine is a tragedy and a deep pain for Russia.

Russia agrees that Ukraine's security must be ensured - ready to work on this.

5⃣ Putin: We hope mutual understanding with Trump will pave the way for peace in Ukraine

Urged Kiev & Europe not to hinder the emerging progress in resolving the conflict

6⃣ Trump: “There's good chance of getting there“ on Ukraine

Many points were agreed to, but a few remain - one of them probably the "most significant".

7⃣ 🇷🇺 Putin invites Trump to Moscow for their next meeting

🇺🇸Trump said he would catch some ‘heat’ for accepting the invitation
