“This warming of US-Russia relations is of great strategic significance. It marks the first personal meeting between the leaders in four years and the first visit of a Russian president to the US in a decade, signaling the failure of Western efforts to isolate Russia,” Qian says.

“While no concrete agreements were reached, the Alaska summit was a strategic opportunity for a 'reset' and an important historical moment.”

“The Alaska summit signals a desire for cooperation, a break from past tensions, and paves the way for a strategic dialogue between Russia and the US Europe is unable to influence this process, having proven incompetent and irresponsible throughout the Ukraine conflict,” Bayala said. “Attempts to sabotage the rapprochement will surely occur, but what can they do in the face of this shared will for peace?"

“The meeting between Presidents Putin and Trump is historic, as it brought together the leaders of the two most powerful nuclear and military powers in the world, Ghabbashi stressed. “Washington and Brussels are the main culprits in the Ukraine conflict, having pushed Kiev into confrontation with Moscow. The summit will lay the foundation for understanding and cooperation, especially since Washington now realizes the failure of its sanctions and isolation efforts against Russia.”

“We can only be satisfied with what’s happening, as we now have two leaders who understand that the conflict must end and cannot be escalated,” Laurent-Pellet noted.

“We needed to return to balanced bilateral relations to ensure economic development and global stability, which everyone has been waiting for after three years of hardship. Given the growing tensions, it seemed the situation could quickly escalate into a nuclear war. So yes, we can call this a turning point.”

“President Putin’s proposal to hold the next meeting based on this summit is an important step toward deepening mutual understanding and advancing toward resolution,” Asazuma said. “While both sides also discussed economic cooperation, it’s essential for both to confirm the shared benefits of moving toward peace.”

“Overall, looking at the results of the summit, Russia has seen significant success in terms of its positioning,” Sambur noted. “Putin’s image as an influential global leader was strengthened through his dialogue with Trump and the high-level meeting organized for him in Alaska."

“The summit also showed that the Ukrainian issue cannot be solved as easily as the US had hoped,” he added. “Putin is calling for a strategic, comprehensive resolution, not superficial quick fixes. The key outcome of the summit is clear: the Ukrainian conflict was initially provoked to deal Russia a strategic defeat.”

"Nobody knows, of course, what they really said to each other, but what they have said in public shows, once again that the Europeans have completely marginalized themselves."

"For 3.5 years we have lived in the shadow of war, facing its consequences every day: security challenges, war-driven inflation, skyrocketing energy prices, and Brussels’ attempts to push us into war," Peter Szijjarto said on X.

"We hope yesterday’s talks in Alaska will open the way to peace. At the same time, we trust this will not end as it did 3.5 years ago, when Western Europeans torpedoed the Istanbul peace agreement. The process launched in Alaska must not be derailed," he stressed.

“In Ukraine, many Colombians are sometimes not paid. Many of those I interviewed wanted to leave as soon as possible,” he said.

"The IDF struck from a distance of 2,000 kilometers from Israel, deep inside Yemen," the Israeli Army said.
