President Donald Trump has failed to secure an agreement from Vladimir Putin to end Russia’s war in Ukraine, falling short in his most significant move yet to stop the bloodshed, even after rolling out the red carpet for the man who started it.

Trump and Putin “looked like buddies” during their initial greetings in Alaska Friday – but the dynamic had shifted by the end of their visit, according to a body language expert.

Trump and Putin met at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson in Anchorage, Alaska on Friday afternoon to discuss an end to Russia’s war on Ukraine, which began more than three years ago. The pair announced “great progress” had been made, but they still did not reach any kind of plan to end the war.

Trump immediately calling the Russian leader after Monday’s meetings is similar to his quick outreach to Zelensky after he met with Putin last week in Anchorage, Alaska. Ever since Trump met with the Russian president on Friday, he has backed away from calling for a ceasefire in Ukraine and instead said he hoped for a full peace deal.
