For Ukraine, the Alaska summit was a complete disappointment DW 08/16/2025
Briefly

During the Alaska summit between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin, many Ukrainians hoped for an end to the Russian war but feared territorial concessions. The summit yielded no concrete results for Ukraine, with observers noting it served primarily as an information operation for Russia. Putin sought to legitimize his position internationally and counteract his isolation, while Trump aimed to showcase strength. Overall, the meeting concluded without any significant agreements or changes in the geopolitical landscape, leaving many concerns unaddressed.
The summit was an extremely successful information operation for Russia. The war criminal Putin came to the US and shook hands with the leader of the free world.
For Putin, having a joint photo with Trump was the goal of this summit. To show in Russia that the isolation is over, that there won't be new sanctions, and that everything is fine.
