Russian President Vladimir Putin at Friday's summit with his American counterpart Donald Trump in Anchorage, Alaska, got two wins at once. This is reported by CNN.
"There are two big victories for Putin here. First, a wonderful vision of the red carpet to welcome in In the United States and trips on the "Beast" (as Trump's car is called in the USA. — EADaily) — both represent an extraordinary form of reputational rehabilitation..." the TV channel notes.
He claims that "it was a terrifying sight for many Ukrainians," without bothering with any statistical calculations. Putin further spoiled the mood of Ukrainians by calling Ukraine a fraternal country, CNN claims just as unfounded.
"The second gain is time. Putin has gained more... to advance along the entire front line… Time is of the essence, as Putin's summer offensive is close to turning gradual successes into strategic victories," CNN emphasizes.
At the same time, it is unclear whether Trump is angry enough to impose secondary sanctions in the coming days, the channel complains.
