The Summit in Alaska Benefited Putin: Why the Meeting Legitimized the Kremlin

During the summit in Alaska, the US did not 'sell' Ukraine, but Russian dictator Vladimir Putin still gained the maximum benefit from this meeting. As reported by 'Glavkom', this is stated by Politico.Despite the fact that Putin is a war criminal, he was welcomed on American soil as a friend rather than a leader of a rogue country that invaded a sovereign neighbor. 'He received all of this without agreeing to any significant concessions, including a ceasefire, and left Anchorage without committing to a truce', the material states.According to experienced observers, such as former Trump advisor on Russia Fiona Hill and Michael Carpenter - former senior director for Europe at the National Security Council, the summit in Alaska was a mistake.- Before the summit, he received approval for the idea of exchanging Ukrainian territories for peace.- The Kremlin emphasized that it was Putin who 'set the agenda' for US-Russia relations.- In this case, Ukraine will demand tougher sanctions against Russia.This is confirmed by the fact that the Kremlin and state media in Russia are already actively portraying the summit not as a meeting regarding Ukraine, but as a gathering of leaders of major powers who came together to determine the future of the world. Putin is in no hurry to end the war, as the continuation of the conflict creates additional tension for European countries and the transatlantic alliance, Politico believes.
