Putin's full report on the Alaska Summit to senior officials of the Kremlin:
I invite you to a meeting to inform you about the results of our delegation's visit to Alaska, USA.
I would like to point out from the beginning that this visit was timely and very beneficial.
We discussed almost all aspects of our interaction, of course, with a focus on achieving a fair resolution of the Ukraine crisis.
We certainly had the opportunity to discuss the origins and causes of this crisis, and we did so. The basis for the solution must be the elimination of these roots.
We have not had this level of direct dialogue for a long time. Let me reiterate: we had the opportunity to express our positions in a calm and detailed manner.
We absolutely respect the position of the US government to stop the hostilities as soon as possible, and we do too. We hope to resolve all issues through peaceful means.
The dialogue was very frank and substantive, and in my opinion, this brought us closer to making the necessary decisions.
Now, I will provide you with a detailed account of this dialogue. If you have any questions, I am willing to answer them.
