There is still no peace in sight after
0:02
nearly 3 hours of meeting held in
0:04
Anchorage City in Alaska, a state in the
0:07
United States, US between President
0:10
Vladimir Putin of Russia and President
0:12
Donald Trump of the United States over
0:14
the war Russia launched since 2022 in
0:17
Ukraine which has led to thousands of
0:19
deaths mostly Ukrainians which President
0:22
Vladimir Zalinski of Ukraine who was not
0:25
invited for the meeting on Friday in a
0:27
statement said that it was time to end
0:29
the war, but Russia must take the
0:31
necessary steps to a genuine peace deal.
0:34
And while commenting on the statement
0:35
made by the president of Poland, Carol
0:38
Navoki on Friday via exocial media
0:41
platform to mark Poland armed forces day
0:43
which coincided with the day Putin and
0:46
Trump met in Alaska. President Zalinski
0:48
said that Ukraine's independence
0:50
strengthens Poland's independence and we
0:53
must always remember that the miracle on
0:55
the Vistula was made possible through
0:57
joint efforts and it saved Europe and
0:59
the Polish president Carol Navoki had
1:02
said that today we celebrate the 105th
1:05
anniversary of the great Polish victory
1:08
at the battle of Warsaw in 1920. The
1:11
Polish army together with Ukrainian
1:13
forces successfully repelled the Red
1:15
Army's westward march, safeguarding
1:17
Europe from a communist revolution. For
1:20
centuries, Russian imperialism has been
1:22
a mortal threat to our freedom. Poland's
1:25
political tradition teaches that Russian
1:27
expansionism rests on a legacy of
1:29
domestic desperatism in which the only
1:32
free man is the ruler himself. But
1:34
precisely because Russian desperatism is
1:36
the enemy of freedom, Russian
1:38
imperialism can only be defeated through
1:40
an alliance of free peoples. My nation
1:43
halted Russian imperialism at Oshia
1:52
It was probably a sinister of world
1:54
attention when Air Force One and Russia
1:57
presidential aircraft officially wheeled
1:59
down a joint base Elondorf as President
2:02
Donald Trump and President Vladimir
2:04
Putin met face to face for the first
2:06
time since the war in Ukraine started on
2:08
February 24th, 2022. And the Friday
2:12
meeting marked the first time President
2:14
Vladimir Putin of Russia was stepping on
2:16
Western country soil since he launched
2:18
the war against Ukraine. He was able to
2:21
meet Trump in Alaska because the US is
2:24
not a member country of the
2:25
International Criminal Court IC that
2:28
issued a warrant of arrest against the
2:30
Kremlin leader since 2023 over alleged
2:33
war crime in Ukraine. It would be
2:35
recalled that the Russian president
2:37
Vladimir Putin did not attend the 2025
2:40
annual Brazil, Russia, India, China, and
2:44
South Africa summit known as bricks
2:46
summit in Brazil due to concerns over an
2:49
international criminal court warrant for
2:51
his arrest in connection with alleged
2:52
war crimes committed in Ukraine.
2:55
According to the Kremlin aid Yuri
2:57
Ashikov, President Vladimir Putin did
3:00
not attend the summit due to certain
3:02
difficulties in the context of the ICC
3:05
requirement. Adding in that context, the
3:08
Brazilian government could not take a
3:10
clear position that would allow our
3:12
president to participate in this
3:14
meeting. Instead, the Russian leader
3:16
joined his BRICS colleagues via video
3:18
link. Putin was declared a war crimes
3:21
suspect since the ICC named him in a
3:24
March 2023 arrest warrant over the mass
3:27
deportation of Ukrainian children.
3:30
Russia stands accused of abducting and
3:32
deporting tens of thousands of Ukrainian
3:34
children with many victims reportedly
3:36
subjected to ideological indoctrination
3:39
to rob them of the Ukrainian heritage
3:41
and impose a Russian national identity.
3:44
The alleged mass abductions, according
3:46
to observers, may qualify as genocide,
3:49
according to the 1948 United Nations
3:52
Genocide Convention, which identifies
3:55
forcibly transferring children of the
3:57
group to another group as one of five
3:59
internationally recognized acts of
4:01
genocide. As a signary to the Rome
4:05
statute that established the IC, Brazil
4:08
would have been obliged to arrest Putin
4:09
if he entered the country. Addressing
4:12
the ICC warrant in 2023, Brazilian
4:15
President Louis in Orochuladar Silva
4:18
initially dismissed talk of detaining
4:20
the Russian president before
4:21
backtracking and distancing himself from
4:24
the issue. If Putin decides to go to
4:26
Brazil, it's the justice system that
4:28
will take the decision over whether he
4:30
should be arrested, not the government
4:32
or Congress, Lula stated. Putin faced
4:36
similar uncertainty two years ago ahead
4:38
of the annual gathering of BRICS leaders
4:40
which was then being hosted by South
4:42
Africa. The South African authorities
4:45
reportedly came under considerable
4:47
pressure from their Russian colleagues
4:49
to provide assurances that the Kremlin
4:51
dictator could travel to the August 2023
4:54
event without fear of arrest. Russia has
4:57
made it clear that arresting its sitting
4:59
president would be a declaration of war.
5:02
South African President Siril Ramaposa
5:04
stated then in the buildup to the
5:06
summit. The African country was
5:08
ultimately unable to offer any
5:10
guarantees forcing Putin to abandon his
5:13
plans to attend the summit in South
5:15
Africa. Fox News reported that the
5:17
Russian president Vladimir Putin makes a
5:20
rare public appearance at a monument
5:22
honoring US cooperation during World War
5:25
II just hours before his summit with
5:27
President Trump on Friday. And after the
5:30
summit in Alaska, local media showed a
5:33
video of President Putin kneeling at
5:35
every Soviet pilot grave in Alaska. As
5:38
both leaders met on the tarmac of the US
5:40
military base airport, a flyover of
5:43
American military planes passed
5:45
overhead, including fighter jets and
5:47
what appeared to be AB2 stealth bomber.
5:50
President Donald Trump and Russian
5:52
President Vladimir Putin emerged from a
5:54
nearly 3-hour meeting on the Ukraine war
5:56
and gave public statements, but left
5:59
without announcing any agreement or
6:01
ceasefire, and they refused to take
6:03
questions from the press. US fighter
6:06
jets were seen escorting Vladimir
6:07
Putin's plane out of Alaska after the
6:10
summit with Trump. The Kremlin posted a
6:13
video on Telegram appearing to show at
6:15
least two USF22 fighter jets escorting
6:18
the Russian president's plane out of
6:20
Alaska following talks with Donald
6:22
Trump. There's no deal until there's a
6:24
deal, Trump said. The White House had
6:27
said there would be a news conference
6:29
after the closed door meeting, but both
6:31
men walked off stage without taking any
6:33
questions. Trump hosted the summit at a
6:36
military base in Alaska in an audacious
6:39
bid to broker a peace deal and stop a
6:41
three-year war with Ukraine and its ever
6:43
rising body count. It was not
6:46
immediately clear what was agreed upon
6:48
in the talks. We didn't get there, but
6:51
we have a very good chance of getting
6:53
there, Trump said. President Donald
6:56
Trump added via a post that a great and
6:59
very successful day in Alaska. It was
7:01
determined by all that the best way to
7:03
end the horrific war between Russia and
7:05
Ukraine is to go directly to a peace
7:08
agreement. President Zalinski will be
7:10
coming to DC, the Oval Office on Monday.
7:14
While President Putin and Trump were on
7:16
the way to meet in Alaska, Vadimir
7:18
Zalinski of Ukraine in a number of press
7:21
statements made available via his
7:23
verified exocial media account said he
7:26
held a staff meeting to discuss three
7:28
key issues. the front, particularly the
7:32
Pocrosk sector. We are countering the
7:34
attempts of Russian forces to gain a
7:36
foothold and increasing the pressure of
7:38
our units on the occupier. We are
7:40
succeeding. Units of the 79th and 82nd
7:44
air assault brigades are operating very
7:46
effectively in the Doorilia area. Today,
7:50
a decision was made to further reinforce
7:52
this and other areas in the Dest region.
7:55
Special attention was paid to positions
7:57
in the Zaporisia region. I thank all our
8:00
warriors for their resilience. The
8:03
Russian army continues to suffer
8:05
significant losses in its attempts to
8:07
secure more favorable political
8:08
positions for the Russian leadership at
8:10
the meeting in Alaska. We understand
8:13
this plan and are informing our partners
8:15
about the real situation. We also
8:18
discussed today the development of the
8:20
contract system in the defense forces
8:22
and the funding of Ukraine's defense and
8:24
security forces for 2025 2026.
8:29
Under any circumstances, our army will
8:32
be ready to respond effectively and
8:33
swiftly to threats to Ukrainian
8:35
statethood. The priority is the
8:38
development of a contract army. Today I
8:41
also expect a report from our
8:43
intelligence on the current intentions
8:45
of the Russian side and its preparations
8:47
for the meeting in Alaska. Indeed, high
8:50
stakes. The key thing is that this
8:52
meeting should open up a real path
8:54
toward a just peace and a substantive
8:56
discussion between leaders in a
8:58
trilateral format. Ukraine, the United
9:01
States, and the Russian side. It is time
9:04
to end the war and the necessary steps
9:07
must be taken by Russia. We are counting
9:09
on America. We are ready as always to
9:13
work as productively as possible. I held
9:15
a meeting with the government team, the
9:18
office, and the secretary of the
9:19
National Security and Defense Council to
9:22
discuss our diplomatic work, the highest
9:24
priority areas. In particular, we
9:27
address the funding of Ukraine's defense
9:30
forces, auditing the effectiveness of
9:32
coalitions with partners, special
9:34
formats, the substance of our bilateral
9:36
relations in key global areas, and our
9:39
work at the EU level. I instructed that
9:42
the foreign policy plan be updated for
9:44
the period through the end of the year.
9:47
On Monday, I expect the updated plan to
9:50
be presented. With a neighbor like
9:52
Russia, only the cooperation of free
9:54
nations can effectively protect each of
9:56
them. We value Poland's support for
9:59
Ukraine. Ukraine's independence
10:01
strengthens Poland's independence. And
10:04
we must always remember that the miracle
10:06
on the Vistula was made possible through
10:08
joint efforts and it saved Europe. In
10:11
the same way, Ukrainians have been
10:14
defending our state in the full-scale
10:16
war for 4 years. By repelling the
10:18
Russian army in Ukraine, near Kev, in
10:21
the Sunumi, Kharkiv, and Donesk regions,
10:25
as well as in the Black Sea, Ukrainians
10:27
are truly ensuring the opportunity for
10:29
all Europeans to live freely, free of
10:31
Moscow's madness. I thank Poland for
10:34
walking along this path
10:36
shoulderto-shoulder with us.
10:38
Congratulations on Polish Armed Forces
10:41
Day and best wishes for our and your
10:42
independence to always remain strong.
10:45
President Carol Navi of Poland had said
10:48
that today we celebrate the 105th
10:51
anniversary of the great Polish victory
10:53
at the Battle of Warsaw in 1920.
10:56
The Polish army together with Ukrainian
10:59
forces successfully repelled the Red
11:01

11:03
Europe from a communist revolution. For
11:06

11:09

11:21
precisely because Russian desperatism is
11:23
the enemy of freedom. Russian
11:25
imperialism can only be defeated through
11:27
an alliance of free peoples. My nation
11:30
halted Russian imperialism at Russia
11:33
1514, Klashino 1,610,
11:37
and Warsaw 1920. The Polish people know
11:41
that resisting Russian imperialism is
11:43
not merely an economic matter. It
11:46
concerns the very essence of human and
11:48
national freedom. Freedom is priceless.
11:51
It can neither be bought nor sold. It
11:53
must be defended. This is the Polish
11:56
tradition stretching back to the 15th
11:58
century. I invite all who cherish
12:01
freedom and peace to join my fellow
12:03
polls on August 15th in celebrating the
12:05
halting of desperatism and the defense
12:24
