QUOTES-World leaders react to Trump-Putin summit reaching no deal on Ukraine

Aug 16 (Reuters) - Following are reactions from world leaders on Saturday to the summit between U.S. President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin, which did not resolve Moscow's war in Ukraine.

UKRAINIAN PRESIDENT VOLODYMYR ZELENSKIY ON X:

"We support President Trump’s proposal for a trilateral meeting between Ukraine, the USA, and Russia. Ukraine emphasises that key issues can be discussed at the level of leaders, and a trilateral format is suitable for this.

"On Monday, I will meet with President Trump in Washington, D.C., to discuss all of the details regarding ending the killing and the war.

"It is important that Europeans are involved at every stage to ensure reliable security guarantees together with America. We also discussed positive signals from the American side regarding participation in guaranteeing Ukraine’s security."

ITALIAN PRIME MINISTER GIORGIA MELONI, in a statement:

"A glimmer of hope has finally opened to discuss peace in Ukraine," Meloni said in a statement. "Italy is doing its part, along with its Western allies."

EUROPEAN COMMISSION PRESIDENT URSULA VON DER LEYEN ON X:

"The EU is working closely with @ZelenskyyUA and the United States to reach a just and lasting peace. Strong security guarantees that protect Ukrainian and European vital security interests are essential."

NORWEGIAN FOREIGN MINISTER ESPEN BARTH EIDE, speaking to reporters in Oslo:

"President Putin of Russia reiterated known arguments, such as emphasising the so-called 'root causes' of the war, which is code for the Russian justification for the illegal invasion of Ukraine. Our view is clear: it is important we must continue to put pressure on Russia, and even increase it, to give the clear signal to Russia that it must pay the price.

"We must listen to Ukraine's wishes and needs. We know that President Putin wants to split Europe and the United States. With all our allies, we must do everything we can to avoid that. I am optimistic that we can achieve that, but we must be clear that this is a clear motivation for President Putin...

"I don't believe it will have any effect on the battlefield right now. Too little concrete information has come out, and we see no movement at all in the Russian position."

CZECH PRIME MINISTER PETR FIALA, in a statement:

"The results of the Alaska summit confirm that while the U.S. and its allies are seeking paths to peace, (Russian President Vladimir) Putin is still only interested in the greatest possible territorial gains and the restoration of the Soviet empire."

HUNGARIAN PRIME MINISTER VIKTOR ORBAN ON FACEBOOK:

"For years we have watched the two biggest nuclear powers dismantle the framework of their cooperation and shoot unfriendly messages back and forth. That has now come to an end. Today the world is a safer place than it was yesterday."

POLISH PRESIDENT'S FOREIGN POLICY AIDE MARCIN PRZYDACZ, speaking to reporters:

"The fact that these talks have begun, that there is a discussion, is something we in Poland consider to be of some value. Of course we're not sure today how these talks will unfold, what their final outcome will be, but since we all want an end to the war, then the war can really only end in two ways: either by capitulation of one side, in this situation, the most important thing for us would be the defeat of the Russian Federation. But the other solution is also negotiations, and such negotiations were underway yesterday and will likely continue in the near future, because these talks, as we know, have not... resulted in any firm conclusions."
