Putin says no Ukraine peace deal signed after Trump talks

Russian President Vladimir Putin has indicated that no formal peace agreement was reached to conclude the ongoing war in Ukraine following his discussions with Donald Trump. The meeting occurred in Anchorage, and while no deal was signed, Putin said that talks aimed at finding a resolution to the conflict are still in progress.

This encounter stands as the most significant direct meeting between leaders of Russia and the United States since the Ukraine conflict moved into its current stage. Putin also spoke about the recent strikes that have targeted Russia's fuel infrastructure and stressed the need to strengthen defensive measures in response.

Furthermore, the Russian leader pointed out that both sides in the conflict have increased their use of long-range drones and missiles. These attacks have been directed at energy facilities, military installations, and transportation networks.

Putin went on to accuse Ukraine of conducting strikes on civilian targets. He described these actions as part of a broader information campaign designed to influence opinions. According to Putin, these efforts will have no impact on the military goals that Russia has set for itself.

The statements come amid continued exchanges of attacks between the two countries involved in the conflict.
