Mixed Reactions In Ukraine As Trump Hails 'Great Day' In Alaska
Briefly

Trump's trip to Alaska followed a meeting with Putin and calls with Zelenskyy and European leaders regarding the Ukraine conflict. The reception of Putin drew mixed reactions in Ukraine. Some criticized the red-carpet treatment, while others hoped for positive outcomes despite the lack of a cease-fire. Zelenskyy plans to meet Trump in Washington, supporting a three-way summit to address the conflict, and he urged for increased sanctions against Russia if a meeting does not happen or if Russia avoids a fair end to the war.
In response to the summit’s outcome, a resident of Kramatorsk, a city regularly shelled by Russian forces, remarked that he didn’t expect solid results but expressed cautious hope for future cooperation. This reflects a broader sentiment of frustration mixed with a desire for peace among Ukrainian citizens.
President Trump stated that after his discussions with European leaders and Zelenskyy, a consensus emerged on pursuing a Peace Agreement to resolve the war between Russia and Ukraine, as opposed to an ineffectual Cease-fire Agreement.
