The US president said a peace agreement would be better than a "mere" ceasefire, hours after summit with Putin that produced little.

President Donald Trump shifted focus from a Ukraine ceasefire toward a more comprehensive peace deal following his Alaska meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin, according to Special Envoy Witkoff.

President Donald Trump has yet to exit Air Force One, as he remains on board exchanging greetings with Alaskan senators Lisa Murkowski and Dan Sullivan as well as Alaska Gov. Mike Dunleavy, according to a White House official.

"We are seeing accommodation more than we've seen in the past, certainly more than we saw in the last administration," Witkoff said. "And that's encouraging. Now we have to build on that."
