So Russian American meetings, high level meetings haven't been held in more than four years. This is a long period, and this was a very tough period for both our countries. In fact, let me be let me be frank. These this was the lowest point for us since the Cold War, and this wasn't a positive thing for the world or for our countries. So it was evident, self evident, that sooner or later, had to rectify the situation and return to dialogue. So that is why a personal in person meeting of the two leaders of the two countries was a necessity.

We received kind treatment from Russia. There wasn't much in return. I hope this marks the start of a relationship that can end the war.

I met with Zelensky this morning and advised him to remain grateful and positive, promising to discuss security guarantees later. However, the meeting was a complete disaster, and I question whether Americans will still see him favorably. Based on what I witnessed, most Americans, including myself, wouldn't want Zelenskyy as a business partner. I spoke with President Trump last night, and he was optimistic about reaching a ceasefire and ending the war. I am proud of President Trump for showing the world not to trifle with him. However, Zelenskyy seemed to try and bait Trump in the Oval Office. JD was awesome.

I'm aligned with the United States and the world, and I want to end the conflict in Ukraine. It's hard to make a deal with so much hatred, but I'm focused on getting things done for the sake of the world and Europe. I can be tough, but that won't lead to a deal. We tried being tough with Putin, and it didn't work. Diplomacy is the path to peace and prosperity. During past administrations, nobody stopped Putin when he occupied parts of Ukraine and people died. We signed ceasefire and gas contracts, but he broke them. What kind of diplomacy are we talking about?

Speaker 0: And I'm convinced that mister Witkoff conveys the information in this context with me and with other members of the Russian leadership that is that originates from The US president, not not anything else. And our talks in Anchorage showed it was clear from the context of our talks that information is relayed a quite correct

For that that would be a critical mistake. And now, president Trump, when he says that he if he were president, there would be no war. And I personally believe that is the case. There would be no war had president Trump been president at that time because myself and president Trump have had very good trust based relations. And I'm confident that if we had stayed on that path, we could move as quickly as possible to a resolution of the conflict in Ukraine.

In 2022, during the last contact with the previous administration, I tried to convince my former American colleague that the situation should not be brought to the point of no return regarding hostilities, and to accept it back then. That's a big mistake. Today, Trump says that if he was the president back then, there would be no war, and I am quite sure that it would indeed be so. I can confirm that. I believe that me and President Trump have built a very good, business-like and trustworthy contact, and I have every reason to believe that moving down this path, we can reach the end of the conflict sooner.

I found it interesting that Putin didn't criticize Joe Biden or NATO during our conversation. As an American, it would feel strange to badmouth the American president to a foreign leader, even if I have doubts about Biden's presidency. It just doesn't sit right with me. Maybe I'm just old-fashioned.

President Zelenskyy needs to apologize for turning our meeting into a fiasco by being antagonistic. He undermined our efforts to bring about peace by attacking Putin and making maximalist demands. This makes us question whether he truly wants a peace deal. Our goal is to explore whether peace is possible and get Russia to the negotiating table. I question whether Zelenskyy is willing to do what's needed for a negotiation. Despite reports, we are coordinating with the Ukrainians. President Trump wants to bring an end to this unsustainable, bloody war. He's the only leader who has a chance of achieving this. Zelenskyy should be thanking and supporting President Trump for his efforts to help bring an end to this war.

I see the hatred for Putin, which makes a deal tough. I'm aligned with the world and want to end this. I can be tough, but deals don't happen that way. For four years, we had a president who talked tough, but then Putin invaded. Diplomacy is the path to peace. We need to engage in diplomacy like President Trump is doing. Russia occupied parts of Ukraine, and nobody stopped him. We signed ceasefire deals, but Russia broke them. What kind of diplomacy are we talking about? It's disrespectful to litigate this in the Oval Office. You have manpower problems. You should thank the president for trying to bring this to a conference. Don't tell us what we're going to feel; we're trying to solve a problem. You're gambling with World War III and disrespecting this country. Have you even said thank you? Your country is in big trouble.

I see the hatred for Putin, and it's tough to make a deal with that. I want to get this thing settled. I could be tougher than anyone, but you won't get a deal that way. We had a president who talked tough about Putin, but Putin still invaded. Diplomacy is the path to peace. Russia occupied parts of Ukraine in 2014, and nobody stopped him. We signed ceasefire and gas contracts, but he broke the ceasefire and didn't exchange prisoners. What kind of diplomacy are we talking about? I'm talking about ending the destruction of your country. It's disrespectful to litigate this here. You should be thanking us for trying to bring this to a conference.

The Alaska Summit reinforced my belief that while difficult pieces within reach, I believe that in a very significant step, President Putin agreed that Russia would accept security guarantees for Ukraine, and this is one of the key points that we need to consider. We're going to be considering that at the table, also, like who will do what, essentially. I'm optimistic that collectively we can reach an agreement.

It's an honor to have President Zelenskyy. We've been working closely together for a long time and have a very fair deal. We're committed to working with Ukraine, and we've had good discussions with Russia. We want to stop the killing and rebuild. The Biden administration didn't speak to Russia, but if I were president, this war would have never happened. Your soldiers have been unbelievably brave, and we've given them great equipment. I give tremendous credit to your generals, soldiers, and yourself. We want to get this over with. We're going to sign the agreement soon and discuss other things. The exciting moment is when the shooting stops and we have a deal, and I think we're fairly close.

Okay, so from the start of the war, everyone's facing problems. You might feel okay now because you have the ocean, but you will feel the effects later. Don't tell us how we're going to feel. We're going to feel very good and very strong. You're not in a good position right now. You're gambling with the lives of millions and risking World War III. It's disrespectful to this country; I've been more supportive than many others would have been. Have you said thank you at all during this meeting? You campaigned against us. Show some appreciation to the U.S. and the president trying to save your country. You are saying if you speak loudly about the war... He's not speaking loudly, your country is in big trouble, and you're not winning. We're staying strong and thankful, even though we've been alone since the beginning. You haven't been alone. We gave your president $350 billion for equipment. Without our military equipment, this war would've ended in two weeks or three days. I heard that from Putin. Can you just say thank you to the American people? Let's work through disagreements instead of fighting it out in the media when you're wrong.

I'm not aligned with Putin or anyone else, but with the United States and the world's well-being. My goal is to end this conflict. The animosity between sides makes negotiation difficult. While I understand the hatred, both sides harbor resentment. It's not about alignment; I'm focused on global peace and helping Europe. I can be extremely tough, but that approach won't lead to a resolution. Sometimes, the best path forward is through dialogue and compromise, even when dealing with adversaries. A tough approach may feel good, but it won't secure peace.

We've been meeting for a while and we're gonna discuss some of the issues. And I don't think there's any issue that's overly complex. It's at a point now where people wanna do things. I I do I really do believe. I've known him for a long time. I've always had a great relationship with him. I think that president Putin wants to find an answer to, and we'll see. In a period not very far from now, a week or two weeks, we're gonna know whether or not we're gonna solve this, or is this horrible fighting gonna continue? We'll do the best to get it ended. And, I believe you have two willing parties, and usually that's good news, but two willing parties that wanna make a deal. We'll journey together, and we'll go over, and we'll, see if it could be done. And it might it's possible it might not be able to be done. On the other hand, it's possible it will. It will save thousands and thousands of lives a week.

The press is focused on narratives, but I am focused on peace. Characterizing my stance as pro-Russia or anything else is garbage. I was elected to bring peace to this conflict, and I'm working with both sides in a way that only I can. Only I can bring them to the table to end the killing. Being behind the scenes, I am laser-focused on making that happen. We're closer today than ever before because of my leadership.

I met with Zelensky this morning and advised him to stay positive and grateful. We'll discuss security guarantees later, but the meeting was an utter disaster. I'm questioning if Americans can still trust him. After witnessing today's events, most Americans, including myself, wouldn't want to partner with Zelensky, despite my multiple visits to Ukraine. I spoke with President Trump last night, and he was optimistic about the deal. I'm incredibly proud of President Trump for showing the world that he is not to be trifled with. He was positive about getting a ceasefire and ending the war, but Zelensky seemed to want to provoke Trump in the Oval Office. JD did a great job.

I see the hatred for Putin, making a deal tough. I want peace and am aligned with the world. I can be tough, but deals require more than that. Previous chest-thumping didn't work, diplomacy is needed. Trump's engaging in diplomacy. Russia occupied parts of Ukraine, nobody stopped them. Ceasefires were signed but broken, prisoners weren't exchanged. What kind of diplomacy are we even talking about? I'm trying to end the destruction of your country, but don't come here and start a fight. You're forcing conscripts to the front lines. Be thankful I'm trying to resolve this conflict. You should be appreciating the country that's backing you far more than a lot of people said they should have, and has given you billions of dollars in military equipment. Be thankful. You don't have the cards. If we get a ceasefire, you'd want to take it.

I see the hatred for Putin, which makes a deal tough. I want to get this settled and align with Europe. I could be tougher, but that won't get a deal done. We had a president who talked tough, but Putin still invaded. Diplomacy is the path to peace. Putin occupied parts of Ukraine in 2014, and nobody stopped him. We signed ceasefire and gas contracts, but he broke them, killing our people and not exchanging prisoners. What kind of diplomacy are we talking about? It's disrespectful to litigate this here. You should be thanking me for trying to bring this to a conference.

President Putin wants to see that as much as I do. So, again, mister president, I'd like to thank you very much, and we'll speak to you very soon and probably see you again very soon. Thank you very much, Vladimir. And next time in Moscow. Oh, that's an interesting one. I don't know. I'll get a little heat on that one, but I, I could see it possibly happening. Thank you very much, Vladimir. And thank you all. Thank

I've been in countless bilateral meetings with heads of state, but I've never witnessed behavior like President Zelensky's. He berated and interrupted his host instead of showing gratitude for the U.S.'s significant aid, which has essentially kept him alive and in power. This was very disappointing to see. I sincerely hope President Zelensky reconsiders his approach, reaches out to President Trump, expresses the gratitude he owes, apologizes for his recent behavior, and agrees to this mutual rights deal. It's the best path to peace in the region and serves the interests of both our countries.

I need to align myself with everyone to get a deal done. I'm aligned with the United States and the world, and I want to end this. Others have tremendous hatred, which makes it tough to make a deal. I could be tougher than anyone, but that won't get us a deal. We need diplomacy to end the destruction. Some people stood up and talked tough, but Putin still invaded. I'm trying to bring an end to this conflict. You should be thankful for what we are trying to do. You are gambling with World War Three and you are disrespectful to this country. We've given you so much money and equipment. I empowered you to be tough, but you're not acting thankful. If we're out, you'll fight it out, but it won't be pretty.

I'm aligned with the US and the world, and I want to end this conflict. It's hard to make a deal with so much hatred. I could be tough, but that won't get us anywhere. For four years, tough talk didn't stop Putin. Diplomacy is the path to peace. Others didn't stop Putin from occupying parts of Ukraine since 2014. We signed ceasefire and gas contracts, but he broke them, killing people and not exchanging prisoners. I am trying to end the destruction of your country. Everyone has problems during war, even you. You've allowed yourself to be in a bad position. You're gambling with lives and World War III, and that's disrespectful to the US. You haven't said thank you, and campaigned against us. Your country is in trouble and not winning. If we are out, you will be fighting on your own.

I'm thankful to the American people, President Trump, and Congress for the support you've given us these last three years. We are strategic partners, and we need to be honest with each other to stop Putin. I respect President Trump's desire to end this war, but no one wants it more than we do. We need him and our European partners to pressure Putin. I respect President Trump and the American people, and I don't believe we've done anything wrong. We need to openly discuss Ukraine's position. We are ready to sign the minerals deal as a first step towards security guarantees, but it’s not enough. I wanted to share my thoughts with the President because this is sensitive for our people, who want to know America is on our side. I want a just and lasting peace with security guarantees.
