Trump appears to have achieved nothing from his bizarre & unprepared invitation of war criminal Putin.
Whoever writes that "all wars end with negotiations" should be refuted by an decent foreign affairs journal, because it is not true in modern times.
The leaders of Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Iceland, Latvia, Lithuania, Norway and Sweden issued a joint statement declaring their “unwavering support for Ukraine’s sovereignty, independence, and territorial integrity.” www.kyivpost.com/post/57872
Nordics and Baltics reinforce European coalition in support of Ukraine before Trump-Putin meeting in Alaska.
There is no reason for Trump to meet Putin to discuss Ukraine.
The main impression of the Trump-Putin meeting is that Trump is subservient to Putin. Putin offered no ceasefire & as expected Trump ignored that he had promised "severe consequences" in that case. God help Zelensky when he faces Putin's servant in the White House!
