Anchorage's potential not exhausted - Ushakov on Russia-US contacts

The meeting between Russian and U.S. leaders Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump in Anchorage is a key factor in relations between Moscow and Washington, Russian presidential aide Yury Ushakov said.

According to him, Russia and the U.S. made certain concessions in Alaska.

"If we achieve what we spoke about, what the Americans agreed on, we will reach a peaceful settlement," Ushakov said.

According to the Kremlin aide, the Putin-Trump agreements are the "basis of all accords" making it possible to piece together key aspects "and resolve problems."

"And the American side is demonstrating readiness to work to achieve what the presidents agreed on," Ushakov said, adding that this means that Anchorage’s potential "has not been exhausted."
