According to the English section of webangah News Agency, citing Mehr News Agency via TASS, steve Witkoff, former U.S. President Donald Trump’s special envoy to West Asia, said that the length of his meeting with Russian President Vladimir putin in Alaska depended on how far they advanced in talks aimed at resolving the Ukraine conflict.
Witkoff spoke about the meeting held in anchorage,Alaska: “We stayed there quite a while because we made real progress on how to reach a peace agreement.”
He added regarding temporary military halts or ceasefires: “ceasefire agreements are very easy to violate because not all necessary conditions are attached.”
The Trump envoy continued, “But a peace agreement is very different and much stronger. The U.S.president gradually felt during the Alaska encounter that we possessed many of the accepted prerequisites for a peace deal, so why not pursue a full peace agreement?”
Putin and Trump met on August 15 at a U.S. military base in Alaska. Their talks lasted about three hours and involved changes in format: starting with private discussions inside Trump’s limousine en route to the main venue, than expanding to include two officials from each side-Russia’s Yuri ushakov (Putin’s advisor) and Sergey Lavrov (Foreign Minister), alongside Marco Rubio (secretary of State) and Witkoff for the U.S.
Following the meeting, Trump announced progress but noted that both parties had yet to reach consensus on all issues.Speaking with Fox News afterward, he rated the Anchorage session as “10 out of 10,” stressing that many positions had been agreed upon. He said future developments would depend on Kyiv’s response and expressed confidence in reaching a peace deal for Ukraine soon.
