The Ministry of Foreign Affairs praised this "historic meeting, affirming that constructive dialogue is the optimal way to bridge perspectives and resolve conflicts".

The ministry also noted that the joint efforts of the two presidents to end the Ukraine crisis represent a source of hope for promoting global peace and stability.

Although no ceasefire agreement was brokered during the meeting, both leaders described the talks as productive. After the summit, Ukraine's Zelensky, who had voiced concerns about a lack of Ukraine representation in the Trump-Putin meeting, announced he would meet with the US President on August 18 in Washington.

A Kremlin spokesman had previously said that a three-way meeting could be possible depending on if the proceedings went well in Alaska.
