Ukraine has declared the so-called “spirit of Anchorage” dead as Russia was forced to admit it is struggling with fuel shortages.
Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha hit out at Moscow’s claims that it had reached secret “understandings” with the US during last year’s Alaska summit, saying those hopes have been shattered.
“The reality makes one thing clear: if the ‘Spirit of Anchorage’ even existed, it is certainly dead now,” Sybiha said, mocking Russia’s repeated claims that Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin had struck informal agreements during the August 2025 meeting.
