Russian President Vladimir Putin got everything he could have hoped for in Alaska. President Donald Trump got very little — judging by his own pre-summit metrics.

In a summit meeting marked by red carpets, handshakes and military flyovers, President Vladimir Putin made his first trip to the United States in a decade and was greeted warmly by President Donald Trump.

After leaving Alaska, Trump says he would prefer to "go directly to a peace agreement" to end the war in Ukraine as he prepares to meet Zelensky on Monday.

The president talked up his connection with Russian leader Vladimir Putin after a summit between the two failed to secure a Russia-Ukraine ceasefire.

While no deal was announced, the Russian leader secured some wins and left on good terms with the U.S. president.
