During an interview with CNN, US President's special envoy Steven Witkoff stated that after the Alaska summit, Washington is concentrating on a comprehensive peace deal regarding Ukraine, rather than just a ceasefire.

“We are dedicated to seeking a peace deal that will swiftly bring an end to the conflict. Quicker than a truce. We examined all the various issues that would be addressed and consented to during a ceasefire,”he stated.

He added that “significant progress was achieved at this meeting concerning all the elements required for a peace agreement.”

Witkoff observed that at the meeting in Alaska, the Russian delegation was more flexible in its stance than previously.

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated in an NBC interview that the issue of a ceasefire is still part of the discussions, but the most effective resolution to the Ukrainian crisis is clearly a comprehensive peace agreement.
