Russian President Vladimir Putin said Russia had agreed to proposals put forward by the United States on Ukraine during their summit in Anchorage, adding that Washington had since asked for additional time to consider the matter.
Putin's remarks suggest that discussions between Moscow and Washington on a potential resolution to aspects of the Ukraine conflict have continued following the Anchorage meeting, though he did not detail the specific content of the proposals or what formal response, if any, the US side had given beyond requesting more time.
The Anchorage summit had drawn international attention as a high-level venue for US-Russia talks concerning the war in Ukraine, which has continued for years with significant human and economic costs on both sides of the conflict. Any proposals discussed there would likely touch on sensitive issues such as territorial questions, security guarantees and the terms of any eventual ceasefire or settlement.
Putin's statement that Russia had agreed to the US proposals, without further Russian or American elaboration on specifics, leaves open questions about what concrete steps might follow and how Ukraine and its European allies would be incorporated into any emerging framework.
Officials from Kyiv and European capitals have in the past stressed that any settlement affecting Ukraine's territory or security arrangements must include Ukrainian participation. Further developments are expected as the parties continue to weigh the proposals discussed at the summit.
