‘No Agreement in Alaska’: Rubio Rejects Kremlin’s Ukraine Deal Narrative

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said no agreement on Ukraine was reached during the August 2025 Alaska summit, rejecting Russian claims that Moscow accepted a US-backed peace framework at the talks. Rubio added that only a proposal was discussed, but never finalized, undermining the Kremlin’s narrative that Washington later abandoned an existing deal. The summit has remained a key point in Russian rhetoric despite Kyiv rejecting proposed territorial concessions and no public confirmation of any deal.
