The first face to face meeting between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin since the war in Ukraine started is over, with Donald Trump saying “we didn’t get there” on a Ukraine deal, or a ceasefire. The meeting lasted three hours, with the US president insisting progress was made, and Putin saying he is “sincerely interested” in ending the war, but without giving details. The two leaders both addressed the media at the end of the summit, but didn’t take questions.
In a special collaboration, Adam was joined by Victoria Derbyshire and Vitaly Shevchenko from Ukrainecast and Sarah Smith in Anchorage, Alaska for Americast.
