Ukraine and Allies Left Scrambling as Trump Shifts Toward Putin After Alaska Summit

The summit ended without a peace deal as Ukraine war deaths exceed 350,000 and global military spending hits $2.7 trillion, reflecting deep geopolitical and economic challenges.

  • Sunday, the Alaska summit between US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin concluded with grand pronouncements but no tangible peace.
  • Before the summit, some believed negotiations might finally stop Russia’s invasion, but Ukrainian political scientist Vadym Denisenko said Russia’s proposal to trade Ukrainian territory for US cooperation failed.
  • Kraiev noted that aside from Trump’s deference toward Putin, there were no answers to key questions, while Putin used a joint photo to signal his isolation is over.
  • Sunday, Ukraine and its allies scrambled to respond to Trump’s apparent shift toward Putin, who gained strategic time to pursue the war.
  • On August 18, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy will meet Donald Trump, and Vadym Denisenko predicts negotiations may not progress until spring 2026 if no results are achieved within two months.
