Following the talks, Russian media released new footage showing Trump and Putin appearing relaxed, with the two sharing smiles and laughter. The clip quickly spread online, sparking a wave of reactions. Some observers accused Trump of being overly friendly toward the Russian leader, while others suggested the video was released by the Kremlin as a way to portray strength and influence.
Regardless of the interpretations, one fact remains: no ceasefire agreement has yet been reached, and the human toll of the conflict continues to rise.
Looking ahead, attention now turns to Washington, where Donald Trump is scheduled to meet with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy today, August 18. With peace, security, and Ukraine’s future on the line, this meeting may prove even more consequential than the one in Alaska.
The world is watching closely — will these back-to-back meetings pave the way for meaningful progress, or will they leave the path to peace as uncertain as ever?
What do you think — did the Trump-Putin summit move the needle toward peace, or was it just political theater?
