Pro-Kremlin publications such as Gazeta and the Interfax and Tass news agencies described the summit as an important step towards peace, emphasizing Putin's firmness and willingness to dialogue. According to Russian media, Ukraine was reportedly dissatisfied with the results, refusing to release prisoners of war mentioned in the talks. Trump was reportedly given a list of over a thousand prisoners that the Ukrainian side does not want to take back.

Controversy and criticism

Russian opposition media, including Novaya Gazeta and Meduza, criticized the meeting, calling it “dialogue for dialogue’s sake” or “negotiations in reverse.” Journalists pointed to intense propaganda through state media and the lack of concrete progress in resolving the Ukrainian crisis.

Perspectives and implications

The Trump-Putin meeting in Alaska highlights international tensions over Ukraine, divergent assessments between the United States, Russia and the European Union, and the media's role in shaping public perception. Although Russian officials present the summit as a strategic success, international critics and analysts believe the results are limited and the future of the negotiations depends on the decisions of Kiev and its European allies.
