The meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and US President Donald Trump marked a return of Putin to the international stage, but made no progress in resolving the conflict in Ukraine. Ukrainian politicians consider the summit a failure as no de-escalation measures were agreed. Putin managed to reaffirm his position, and Russian officials celebrated the apparent normalization of relations with the US. Despite the positive statements, the lack of a concrete agreement suggests the war in Ukraine will continue.
