During the talks, Putin repeated demands long rejected by Kyiv, including recognition of Russian control over occupied Ukrainian regions and Ukraine's neutrality. No concrete deal was announced, and Trump, unusually brief, offered only that "great progress" had been made while admitting "we didn't get there."
Notably, Trump avoided pressing Putin on consequences for failing to agree to a ceasefire, easing pressure on Moscow. Still, both leaders left the door open for further discussions, with Putin quipping in English: "Next time in Moscow."
For now, the war grinds on and the summit leaves more questions than answers.
