- A summit between U.S. President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin is scheduled for Friday in Alaska, marking their first meeting since 2021.

- The meeting raises concerns about potential territorial concessions as Russia continues aggressive advances, while Ukraine asserts it will not cede land or compromise its sovereignty in peace talks.
