Russian President Vladimir Putin will sit down at the negotiating table with American President Donald Trump in Alaska as the winner, regardless of the outcome of the meeting, according to the Milliyet newspaper.
“The Ukrainian president is not among the invitees to the summit… Whatever the outcome of the summit, Putin will sit down at the negotiating table as the victor,” the article says.
According to journalist Ozay Shendir, Trump is playing politics like a poker player, while Putin’s actions are more like a chess player’s moves.
Earlier, US Senator Lindsey Graham said that the US does not seek to humiliate Putin in the negotiations on Ukraine.
