Russian President Vladimir Putin lauded the Trump administration’s “energetic” efforts to end the conflict in Ukraine. He hinted that Moscow and Washington could reach an agreement on nuclear arms limitation during their summit in Alaska on Friday.
In his first public comments since President Donald Trump announced the Alaska summit, Putin hosted a meeting of senior Russian officials at the Kremlin on Thursday to advise them on the status of negotiations with the US on Ukraine.
“The current American administration… is making, in my opinion, quite energetic and sincere efforts to stop the hostilities, stop the crisis and reach agreements that are of interest to all parties involved in this conflict,” Putin said, as noted by CNN.
