Muscovites’ response follows Alaska talks

Residents and visitors in Moscow responded with cautious optimism following the Alaska summit between Russian President Vladimir Putin and U.S. President Donald Trump. The talks concluded without the announcement of a peace plan for Ukraine, but observers in the Russian capital noted a sense of hope.

Many viewed the discussions as a positive step toward dialogue between the two nations, though they acknowledged that a formal resolution of the conflict remained uncertain. Some emphasized the potential benefits of reduced confrontation between the United States and Russia, while others expressed a desire for broader peace and stability in the region.

Analysts noted that while expectations varied, the summit had sparked public discussion about the future of the conflict in Ukraine and the possibility of improved communication between Moscow and Washington.
