US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin met in Alaska to discuss the Russia-Ukraine war, but the summit concluded without a concrete deal. Both leaders called the talks "productive" and "constructive," but neither mentioned a ceasefire. The meeting, which included a red carpet welcome for Putin, drew criticism from some European allies and Ukrainians. Following the summit, Trump announced he would meet with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in Washington to discuss a potential peace agreement. The lack of a definitive outcome on the war leaves the situation unresolved, but signals a path for continued diplomacy. (PC: CNN & X)
