US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin met at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson near Anchorage on 15 August, the first US-Russia summit since the full-scale invasion. Trump said "great progress" was made but "there's no deal until there's a deal", and that it was up to President Zelensky to get an agreement done; Putin spoke of an understanding with Trump, warned Ukraine and European allies not to torpedo it and said the war's root causes had to be addressed. Neither leader took questions and no ceasefire was announced, and Trump then dropped his call for a ceasefire before talks in favour of a full settlement.
