The end of the Anchorage spirit: Rubio said that there was no agreement between Putin and Trump on Ukraine

At the summit of Russian and US Presidents Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump in Alaska, "proposals were discussed, but there were no agreements." This was stated by US Secretary of State Marco Rubio.

"There was no agreement in Alaska. There was a proposal in Alaska. But on Alaska did not have an agreement. If an agreement had been reached [in Anchorage], the war would have ended," the head of American diplomacy told reporters in the Bahraini capital Manama, where he is on a visit.

"I mean, Russia wants, among other things, the whole of Donetsk [apparently referring to Donbass] to be transferred to it," Rubio said, quoted by TASS.

As the US Secretary of State emphasized, "we are ready to take a step forward and play a constructive role, if we have the opportunity, to unite the parties and put an end to this war, this is what the president has been trying to do for a year and a half."

As EADaily reported, on June 23, Vladimir Putin, at a meeting with government members, named four bases for negotiations with Kiev: the Istanbul agreements, the "Anchorage modalities," the realities on earth, as well as the principles that the president outlined in a speech delivered at the Foreign Ministry two years ago.

On the same day, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov said that Moscow notices Washington's departure from the "basic understandings" that Presidents Putin and Trump reached in Anchorage. "And a certain rapprochement of Washington's line with the most rabid anti—Russian policy pursued by the closest allies of the United States in Europe in the person of the United Kingdom and the French Republic," Ryabkov said.
