New Delhi [India], August 16 (ANI): External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar and his British counterpart Foreign Secretary David Lammy spoke over the phone on Saturday and discussed Ukraine developments and other issues.

The US President said in a post on Truth Social, 'A great and very successful day in Alaska! The meeting with President Vladimir Putin of Russia went very well, as did a late night phone call with President Zelenskyy of Ukraine, and various European Leaders, including the highly respected Secretary General of NATO. It was determined by all that the best way to end the horrific war between Russia and Ukraine is to go directly to a Peace Agreement, which would end the war, and not a mere Ceasefire Agreement, which often times do not hold up.'

He also shared that Ukrainian President Zelenskyy will be coming to Washington DC on Monday and if things work out then a meeting would be scheduled with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

'President Zelenskyy will be coming to D.C., the Oval Office, on Monday afternoon. If all works out, we will then schedule a meeting with President Putin. Potentially, millions of people's lives will be saved. Thank you for your attention to this matter!'

'The US-Russia summit in Alaska has definitely been productive,' Dmitriev said according to CNN, adding that there were 'lots of issues that we discussed and many we agreed on'.

'Some of them are to be agreed and definitely it's very important that President Trump outlines a significant economic potential of cooperation between the US and Russia,' said Dmitriev.'We will continue building US-Russia relations going forward despite lots of resistance to this, but we will continue strengthening US-Russia ties,' he added, as per CNN.
