  • The meeting aimed to address Russia's war in Ukraine amid ongoing conflict since Russia's February 2022 invasion and growing international concerns.
  • The summit began with warm handshakes, a photo on a platform marked 'Alaska 2025,' and a private limousine ride aboard the armored vehicle known as 'The Beast.'
  • Trump said he would know within minutes if the summit was a success and pledged to push for a ceasefire, while Putin did not answer reporters' questions about civilian casualties.
  • The closed-door talks included senior officials and signaled continued uncertainty over peace prospects, with Ukraine ready for productive talks but the war still ongoing due to no signals from Moscow.
