US EditionWhat to know about the historic Trump-Putin summit in Alaska
ALASKA, UNITED STATES, AUG 11 – Trump and Putin meet to discuss Ukraine conflict amid calls for peace; 69% of Ukrainians now favor negotiating to end the war, polls show.
- U.S. officials are racing to finalize arrangements for the summit in Alaska, where President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin will meet, marking their first in-person talks since before Russia’s 2022 invasion.
- Amid Russia’s ongoing war in Ukraine, Putin seeks to solidify territorial gains and prevent NATO’s expansion, prompting the summit as a strategic opportunity.
- Kyiv agreed to a ceasefire but rejected Moscow’s troop withdrawal and arms freeze conditions, with Europeans warning about Russia’s abduction of 35,000 Ukrainian children.
- Reactions include warnings that a Kyiv-free summit may produce hollow agreements, with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte said Sunday he will test whether Putin is serious.
- The summit is seen as the best chance this year for the U.S. to pressure Russia, but it remains uncertain if it can produce peace more than 3 1/2 years after Moscow’s invasion.
