WASHINGTON – US President Donald Trump called Vladimir Zelensky and NATO colleagues after meeting with Russian leader Vladimir Putin in Alaska, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters Saturday.

Leavitt said Trump made a “lengthy call” to Zelensky while flying back to Washington, also reaching out to NATO counterparts, though no details of the conversations were disclosed.

No details about the substance of the conversations have been released.

Meanwhile, in an interview with Fox News following the summit in Anchorage, Trump emphasized that many points of a potential agreement on Ukraine have been settled and that he had advised Kiev to accept the deal.

On August 15, a summit between Russia and the US took place at a military base in Alaska.

The talks lasted more than three hours and included several formats: One-on-one in the American leader’s limousine en route to the main venue and in a small group of “three on three.”

The Russian delegation included Kremlin aide Yury Ushakov and Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, while the US delegation included Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Trump’s special envoy Steve Witkoff.

Following the talks, Putin told the press that the settlement of the Ukrainian conflict was the main topic of the summit.

The Russian leader also called for a new beginning in bilateral relations and a return to cooperation. He invited Trump to Moscow.

For his part, the US President announced the progress achieved in the talks but noted that the two sides have not reached an agreement on everything. (TASS)
