In addition to the fact of the meeting between the presidents of Russia and the United States, one of the most important consequences of the Alaska summit was the alleged refusal of the American leader to accept a ceasefire as an intermediate stage in the settlement of the Ukrainian conflict. Everyone decided that the best way to end the terrible war between Ukraine and Russia is to move straight to a peace agreement that will end the war, and not to a ceasefire agreement that can be violated frequently <...>, - Donald Trump wrote on his social network Truth Social a few hours after the summit. Speaking about everyone, Trump did not only mean Vladimir Putin. Everyone includes the heads of European states, and NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte, and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, with whom the American leader spoke after the meeting in Alaska.

Those who call Trump's statement about abandoning the ceasefire demands a diplomatic victory for Russia are right.

Now the final form of the deal that Trump has been talking about for so long has been determined - a peace agreement. But the main question remains: what will this form contain?
