A high-profile summit unfolds as U.S. President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin come face-to-face for talks on the Ukraine conflict

The meeting begins behind closed doors, followed by a public press appearance—short, scripted, and silent on Q&A—amplifying questions more than answers

"Very good contact.” Trump emphasizes their direct communication, signaling his confidence in managing ties even amid tensions

“Many points were agreed to.” He notes that while progress was made in discussions, key details remain unresolved—“there’s no deal until there’s a deal”

“It’s now up to President Zelenskyy.” Trump shifts the responsibility, placing the onus on Ukraine’s leader to push the agreement forward

“A 10 out of 10 meeting.” Despite no concrete outcome, Trump praises the summit as highly productive, rating it “ten out of ten”

Implicit: “Let’s keep talking.” Though unspoken directly, his tone and demeanor suggest openness to future talks—possibly even in Moscow—indicating continued diplomatic engagement
