NBC highlighted the differences in Trump's greeting of Zelensky and Putin

The reception of Russian President Vladimir Putin in the United States on Friday was radically different from how the head of the White House, Donald Trump, met Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky in February. This was reported by NBC News on August 15.

"Trump's seemingly warm greeting to Putin stands in stark contrast to the unusual clash between Trump and Zelensky at the White House in late February," the article says.

They recalled that Trump and US Vice President Jay Dee Vance criticized Zelensky in the Oval Office at a February meeting, accusing him of not being grateful enough for American military assistance.

The three-on-three talks between Putin and Trump began in Anchorage at 11:30 local time (22:30 Moscow time). In addition to the Russian leader, Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and Presidential aide Yuri Ushakov are present at the meeting.

The Russian president's flight landed at Anchorage Airport earlier in the day. At the meeting on the airfield, the heads of state shook hands and exchanged a couple of remarks, after which they proceeded to the meeting place in Trump's car. Later, the presidents began negotiations.
