Trump and Putin wrap up press conference in Alaska with no mention of ceasefire

As Donald Trump hosted Vladimir Putin for a historic summit in Alaska, Ukraine and Europe held their breath for what the meeting could bring. 

For the US president, the summit represented an unprecedented opportunity to establish himself as a peacemaker and push Russia to a ceasefire.

For Putin, this was a chance to change tack despite his unwillingness to engage in direct negotiations with his Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr Zelenskyy. 

Ukraine’s president was invited to the summit at the US military Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson in Anchorage on Friday. Still, Trump hopes he will be present for the next round of talks.

Following the Trump-Putin press conference after the meeting, it is increasingly likely that there will be a second meeting after the negotiations in Alaska. 

Review the latest information and analysis on the Trump-Putin summit in Alaska as Euronews journalists around Europe brought you the latest developments on Friday night in the blog below:
