Russian President Vladimir Putin said the agreements he reached with U.S. President Donald Trump at their August Alaska summit remain in force despite recent tensions over the Ukraine war.

Putin stressed that the two leaders have an understanding on how to pursue a peaceful resolution and that nothing from the Anchorage discussions has changed for Russia.

The summit, the first face-to-face meeting between Putin and Trump in six years, addressed Ukraine, arms control, and potential territorial adjustments.

Putin also hinted that Russia may unveil a new weapons system soon and emphasized that an agreement on strategic arms reduction with the U.S. would be "acceptable and useful."

Regarding possible U.S. deliveries of Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine, Putin called such discussions a “bluff” and said Russia would respond by strengthening its air defense system.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has argued that the missiles could pressure Moscow into negotiations.
