WASHINGTON − With handshakes and a red carpet, President Donald Trump and Russian leader Vladimir Putin met for an hours-long summit that Trump hoped would lead to a resolution of the three-year Ukraine war.

Putin said after the meeting that they had reached a deal, but Trump said the two sides were not there yet. "There is no deal until there is a deal," he said at a press conference with Putin. "We're going to try and get this over with."

Trump said he had always had a good relationship with "Vladimir," despite some tough meetings in over the years. But there was more work to be done on reaching an agreement on the war.

Land swaps and prisoner exchanges
President Donald Trump hinted that land swaps, prisoner exchanges and security for Ukraine not based on NATO were among the points discussed and "agreed on" with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

"Those are points that we negotiated and those are points that we largely have agreed on, actually," Trump told FOX News anchor Sean Hannity in his first post-summit interview on Aug. 15. "Ukraine has to agree to it. Maybe they’ll say no."

Trump said the meeting with Putin went well enough that he can postpone his threat of secondary tariffs on additional purchasers of Russian oil such as China.

"Because of what happened today, I think I don't have to think about that,” he said. “Now I may have to think about it in two weeks or three weeks or something, but we don't have to think about that right now."

Trump declined to disclose additional details about what he and Putin discussed. He said he intends to join any meeting between Putin and Ukraine’s Zelenskyy.

"They both want me there," he said. "I’ll be there. You’ve got to see it out."

Native Ukrainian left speechless after ‘no deal’ summit
Ukrainian-American Volodymyr Valchuk said he already had low expectations for the high-stakes summit between President Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin.

But after listening to the world leaders meet in person for the first time in six years to end Russia’s war in Ukraine, Valchuk admitted this was a head-shaker.

“I’m speechless. I have nothing to say. I really didn’t expect much, but this is even worse than I thought,” said Valchuk, 46. “That’s what I’m feeling right now.”



Valchuk, a respiratory therapist who lives in San Rafael, California, said he’s “very disappointed” when Trump said “no deal” was reached to end the war.

“At least they could’ve given us a little idea what Putin said the agreement was,” Valchuk said. “Trump said he will talk to NATO and (Ukrainian President Volodymyr) Zelenskyy, but I really don’t know what that means?

“Yeah, I’m disappointed,” said Valchuk, who came from Ukraine to the US to attend college in 1996. “Very disappointed.”

Valchuk, who gained his American citizenship in 2004, said he doesn’t know what happens next for his homeland.

“I just hope it’s not going to cost Ukraine some of its land and more lives,” Valchuk said. “I hope.”

Putin warns Europe leaders not to ‘throw a wrench’ in peace talks
Putin warned European leaders not to “throw a wrench” in the peace negotiations through “provocations.”

His warning came before Trump said he would call European leaders including Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to notify them about the talks.

“I would like to hope that the agreement that we’ve reached together would help us bring closer that goal and pave the path to peace in Ukraine,” Putin said. “We expect that the European capitals will perceive that constructively and that they won’t throw a wrench in the works and will not make any attempts to conduct provocations to torpedo the nascent progress.”

'We didn’t get there': Trump says biggest issue unresolved
President Donald Trump said “many points were agreed to” in his meeting with Vladimir Putin but offered no specifics and added on the biggest issue “we didn’t get there.”

“We had an extremely productive meeting and many points were agreed to,” Trump said in a short statement to the media without taking questions. “One is probably the most significant… We didn’t get there, but we have a very good chance of getting there.”

Trump hoped for a ceasefire. Will he get one?
Trump said in a Fox News interview on Air Force One that he'd "like to see a ceasefire" and "wouldn't be thrilled" if he did not get one at his meeting with Putin.

"I'm not going to be happy with that," Trump told 'Special Report' host Bret Baier.

But he again said the meeting with Putin would be "setting the table" for a potential second meeting, where a deal to end the war would be discussed.

"It's not for me to negotiate a deal for Ukraine, but I can certainly set the table to negotiate the deal, and our next meeting will have President Zelenskyy and President Putin and probably me," Trump said.
