US President Donald Trump has briefed EU leaders and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on the outcome of his summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska, Italian news agency ANSA reported Saturday.

Citing a spokesperson for the European Commission, the news agency reported that Trump informed European partners and Kyiv about the talks.

Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni was also in contact with Trump and joined a call with the US president and other EU leaders regarding the meeting with Putin, it added.

Trump and Putin were upbeat after their more than three-hour closed-door talks, with the Russian leader saying they had come to reach an "understanding."

After the meeting, Trump said that it is now up to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and European leaders "to get it done."

"A lot of points were agreed on, there's not that much, you know, one or two pretty significant items, but I think they can be reached," Trump said during a Fox News interview following his historic sit-down with Putin in Alaska.

"Now, it's really up to President Zelenskyy to get it done. And I would also say the European nations, they have to get involved a little bit, but it's up to President Zelenskyy," he added.
