High-stakes Alaska summit faces Democratic skepticism over Ukraine

The Democrats of the Congress remained skeptical that all progress against the end of the war in Ukraine would be made before the meeting between the president Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin.

The high-stakes meeting in Anchorage, Alaska, is, since the legislators are careful to end an end to the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, and many willing to beat a bone-breaking sanction package on Moscow and its allies if Putin does not derive.

However, the Democrats are not so sure that Trump will lead to results to his meeting with Putin, the first between the USA and the Russian leaders since Ukraine’s invasion in 2022.

“I’m afraid that this meeting could end with America again if a autocrat who has spent his career to undermine democratic values,” sen.en. sen. Mark WarnerD-VA. And the top democrat in the Senate Intel Committee said.

He warned that there could be no concessions without the participation of Ukraine, the withdrawal of Russia from the Ukrainian area and “enforceable guarantees” for the security of Ukraine.

“Anything else would be an invitation to further aggression from Moscow and every autocrat that observes whether the United States still have the backbone to defend the principles that the Americans have brought to safety since World War II,” he said.

The house minority manager Hakeem Jeffries, DN.Y., accused Trump to play “Foot see” with Putin previously, found that the president’s disposition had changed towards his Russian counterpart.

He added the last year last year, House democrats And the Republicans worked together to adopt another military aid package for Ukraine, and compared it to a “Churchill or Chamberlain moment”.

“We will either appease the dictator or we will aggressively resist the dictator,” said Jeffries. “And as we saw with Chamberlain, the dictator’s appeasement never works.”

Trump himself tried to put expectations to the summit and said Fox News Radio at the beginning of this week that there would be a chance of 25% that the meeting would end.

And on board the Air Force One, Trump said reporters that he wanted to “see a ceasefire quickly”.

“I don’t know if it will be today, but I won’t be happy if it’s not the case today,” he said. “Everyone said it can’t be today, but I just say that I want to stop killing.”

The Trump government has threatened to beat secondary tariffs on India, a large buyer of Russian oil if the meeting did not go well. After Trump Putin has given a 50-day period to reach a ceasefire contract that the President recently shortened to “10 or 12” days.

Sen. ShaeenThe top democrat on the Senate Committee for Foreign Services informed the reporters that “people were ready to give the White House and the President the advantage of doubt”.
