Russian President Vladimir Putin extended a dramatic invitation to President Donald J. Trump on Friday, switching from Russian to English to tell the U.S. leader, “Next time in Moscow,” following their high-profile summit in Alaska.

The Anchorage meeting, which Trump hailed as “extremely productive,” concluded without a formal deal but left both sides emphasizing progress.

“We didn’t get there, but we have a very good chance of getting there,” Trump told reporters at the joint press conference. “Today’s agreements will help us restart pragmatic relations.”

Putin echoed that optimism, calling the discussions “constructive” and praising Trump’s “friendly” and “results-oriented” approach. The Russian leader suggested the talks could pave the way toward ending the Ukraine conflict — and again repeated his belief that the war never would have happened if Trump had been in office at the time.

The summit ended on a symbolic note when Putin, in a rare move, addressed Trump in English: “Next time in Moscow.”

Trump, smiling, acknowledged the political storm such a visit would create: “That’s an interesting one. I’ll get a little heat for that one. But I can see it possibly happening.”

The Alaska talks drew swift reactions across Europe. Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, one of the few leaders with strong ties to both Trump and Putin, declared that the meeting marked a turning point.

“For years, we have watched the two largest nuclear powers calculate the framework of their cooperation and send messages to each other. It’s over with now,” Orbán wrote on Facebook. “The world is a safer place today than it was yesterday.”

Soon after the summit, Trump convened a transatlantic conference call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and several top European leaders, including French President Emmanuel Macron, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, Finnish President Alexander Stubb, Polish President Karol Nawrocki, NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte, and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen.

According to the French government, the call lasted more than an hour and focused on coordinating positions in light of Trump’s direct talks with Putin.

In his first public remarks since the Alaska summit, Zelensky endorsed Trump’s proposal for a trilateral format between the U.S., Russia, and Ukraine.

“Ukraine emphasizes that key issues can be discussed at the level of leaders, and a trilateral format is suitable for this,” Zelensky said. “It is important that Europeans are involved at every stage to ensure reliable security guarantees together with America.”

Zelensky confirmed he held a private one-on-one with Trump for about an hour following the Alaska meeting, before joining the broader call with European leaders. He said Trump shared the “main points” of his discussion with Putin and signaled that Washington is ready to play a decisive role in securing peace.

“Ukraine reaffirms its readiness to work with maximum effort to achieve peace,” Zelensky said. “It is important that America’s strength has an impact on the development of the situation.”

The Ukrainian leader announced he will travel to Washington, D.C., on Monday to meet President Trump in the Oval Office to discuss “all of the details regarding ending the killing and the war.”

“I am grateful for the invitation,” Zelensky added, calling the discussions a “critical moment” for moving closer to peace.
