The presidents of the Russian Federation and the USA, appearing at the press conference earlier than expected, thereby indicated the degree of "progress" in the negotiations. And although cameras, microphones, and spotlights were directed at the two central objects of attention of the current day, all this looks more like a "theater of wasted time" - no agreement has been reached, the war will rage, but Trump and Putin will get their headlines in the media.
The Independent writes about this, as reported by UNN.

The Putin-Trump summit in Alaska was more like a theatrical performance than an event leading to a significant breakthrough in the current situation of Russia's war in Ukraine, believes the author of The Independent.
Before President Trump's meeting with Vladimir Putin in Anchorage, press secretary Karoline Leavitt had already downplayed the significance of the event.
On Wednesday morning, she described the summit as an "exercise in listening"
So indeed, - according to the results, the harvest is not very abundant. There will be no agreement yet, says Trump. The Independent notes that the head of the White House rolled out the red carpet for the Russian dictator, but all Trump got was an invitation to Moscow.
The leaders of the countries appeared at the press conference after the meeting, earlier than expected, the author notes. According to Trump - they agreed on "most points", the meeting was very good, "10 out of 10"; "we must meet," adds Putin, "next time in Moscow." "Interesting," replies Trump.
But the main point is:
Undefined "progress" has been made, some "advancement", topics for discussion, but "no deal until there is a deal"
In the context of possible theses during the negotiations, the publication emphasizes
Alaska, an ideal place to suggest – as leaks suggest – that Russia is carrying out a "West Bank-style occupation of Ukraine," as all available geopolitical sources indicate that the solution has already played out so well for all involved.
But in the end, the theatrical dance of two egomaniacs continues - they received a lot of attention - cameras, microphones, spotlights, and media headlines.
The war in Ukraine will rage. No agreement will ever be reached. Trump will get a few nice words
