Commentary by Russian military journalist Boris Rozhin:
[ColonelCassad] 1. After the negotiations in Anchorage, Trump faced the task of selling the agreement with Putin to the cocaine fuhrer and his European vassals, who gathered in a powerful group and tried to express their opinion on the theses that Trump voiced after the negotiations with Putin.
2. Based on the statements made by Trump and Co. after the negotiations in Washington, Trump has already bent some of the demands (refusal of the dominant demand for a mandatory cease-fire on the LBS, refusal of NATO in exchange for guarantees outside NATO, readiness to discuss "exchange of territories"). But not on everything. Hence the sketches about the possible entry of NATO troops into Ukraine, about which the Russian Federation immediately declared that this would not happen.
3. In general, despite the hype, there is no ready-made deal yet. Trump now states that it will take another one to two weeks to agree on the deal, during which both a tripartite meeting between Putin, Trump and Zelensky, and a meeting between Putin and Zelensky can take place. The Russian Federation previously stated that it was not against such a meeting to finalize the agreements already reached, and so far it is talking about "increasing the level of delegations", without specifying who can go to such a meeting.
4. Immediately after the talks in Washington, Trump called Putin and later said that he intends to continue talking to him in the near future. In Moscow, regarding these efforts of Trump, they said that they consider them to be constructive and making progress.
5. In general, there is no deal yet, so the war continues. There will be no stops during the negotiations. The processes will be developed in parallel. War separately, negotiations separately.

9. Security guarantees for Ukraine cannot include NATO, but the USA will be ready to help Europe with this
10. Russia is a powerful military power, whether the West likes it or not.
11. Russia rightly demands that its adversaries not be on its borders. From this, the Russian Federation is clearly not satisfied with only the point about European troops in Ukraine. However, Trump said a lot.
Including the deadlines for the end of the war, which were again moved forward by two weeks.
