Putin Says Trump Broke Their Donbas Deal

Putin is now complaining that Trump has damaged the “spirit of Anchorage,” but that phrase hides the real issue: Putin thought he had an understanding that Russia could keep Donbas in a future peace deal. Now Trump appears to be backing away, European leaders are skeptical, Russian hardliners are furious, and Zelensky is pointing out the obvious problem—Russia has missed deadline after deadline to seize Donetsk. Putin wanted a diplomatic shortcut to what his army still has not taken on the battlefield.
