The Chairman of the Board of the Institute of World Policy Victor Shlinchak told about it on Espreso TV."Of course, both sides will now talk about how great the negotiations were and how much they achieved. For Donald Trump, it is very important not to lose face. And Putin, of course, has reasons to boast - let's be honest. He won at least three points. First, his international legitimacy is being recognized at a fairly high level. The second point is time - something Putin is very interested in today, given the Russian army's offensive and the promised significant successes on the front. And, of course, a delay in sanctions. So, all three points that could be maximized, Putin won," explained Shlіnchak.The political scientist noted that the Russian delegation was well-prepared for the meeting with Trump, playing to him with the topic of the 2020 U.S. presidential election and blaming his predecessors for this war."I think he really has reasons to boast. They skillfully played on all the points Trump always reacted to - the 2020 election, bad predecessors, and, if true, the cards Putin brought to tell Trump about the supposedly artificially created Ukraine. So, I believe their entire dialogue followed this kind of scenario," he added.Trump–Putin summit in Alaska: what is knownOn the night of August 16, Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin held a summit in Anchorage, Alaska, in a “3-on-3” format that lasted nearly three hours — their longest discussion yet. According to the U.S. leader, the meeting was “productive” and covered many issues, but “not on everything did we fully agree,” so “there is no deal yet.”Trump stressed that he would soon hold calls with NATO representatives, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, and others.He also said the Alaska summit nearly produced an agreement, and that a meeting between Zelenskyy and Putin with his participation is now being planned.“Now it’s really up to President Zelensky to get it done,” Trump said in a Fox News interview following his sitdown with Putin in Alaska, CNN reports. “They’re going to set up a meeting now between President Zelensky and President Putin and myself, I guess.”
