P resident Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin are in Alaska on Friday for a high-stakes summit as the U.S. seeks a ceasefire in the Russia-Ukraine war.

President Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin, along with their delegations of advisers, began their first round of talks on a possible Ukraine ceasefire shortly after the arrival of the Russian delegation in Alaska.

President Donald Trump ‘s face-to-face high-stakes summit with President Vladimir Putin in Alaska on Friday could determine the fate of European security as well as the trajectory of the war in Ukraine. The exclusion of President Volodymyr Zelenskyy already deals a heavy blow to the West’s policy of “nothing about Ukraine without Ukraine.”
