Red carpet treatment for the Russian president has undermined the \u201cRussia is isolated\u201d narrative, the foreign ministry has said<\/strong><\/p>\n

Western media have erupted in hysteria over US President Donald Trump\u2019s cordial welcome for his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin, in Alaska on Friday, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova has said.<\/p>\n

Zakharova weighed in on the three-hour negotiations in Anchorage that brought Putin to US soil for the first time in more than a decade. The Russian leader was greeted at the airport with a red carpet and a flyover of US fighter jets. He and Trump then rode together in the US president\u2019s limousine to the summit venue.<\/p>\n

While the sides did not announce any deal on Ukraine, Putin described the talks as constructive, with Trump calling the meeting \u201cwarm\u201d<\/em> and suggesting that Moscow and Washington \u201care pretty close\u201d<\/em> to settling the Ukraine conflict.<\/p>\n

Zakharova noted that Western media had plunged into \u201cfrenzy bordering on complete madness\u201d<\/em> over the honors given to the Russian leader. \u201cFor three years they spoke of Russia\u2019s isolation, and today they saw a red carpet rolled out to meet the Russian president in the US,\u201d<\/em> she said.<\/p>\n

Western media is attempting to frame the Alaska summit as a diplomatic win for Moscow. The Washington Post wrote that \u201cthe warmth of the welcome sent shock through Ukraine and Europe\u201d<\/em> while pointing to a stark contrast with the reception of Ukraine\u2019s Vladimir Zelensky at the White House in February, when Trump accused the Ukrainian leader of disrespect, ingratitude over US aid, and of \u201cgambling with World War III.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Bloomberg reported that \u201cby inviting the Russian president onto American soil and giving him an audience, Trump had already delivered a diplomatic win\u201d<\/em> for a seemingly isolated leader.
