Trump and Putin Have Different Ideas of Success at Alaska Summit

The Alaska summit focused on Russia's demands including Ukraine's disarmament and sanctions relief as Trump sought a ceasefire deal without Zelenskyy's direct involvement.

  • On Friday, US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin will meet at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson outside Anchorage to focus on peace in Ukraine.
  • Russian President Vladimir Putin requested the meeting, marking the first since 2007, with demands including Ukraine’s disarmament and NATO distancing, to gauge future talks with Zelenskyy.
  • Notably, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov arrived in Alaska wearing a 'CCCP'-emblazoned shirt, as journalist Jon Sopel and Wall Street Journal's Yaroslav Trofimov noted.
  • Amid shifting optics, a source close to the Kremlin said some terms will be agreed on Friday because Trump cannot be refused due to sanctions pressure.
  • In recent months, a source close to the Kremlin said Putin will pitch peace as a gateway to lucrative opportunities, amid fears of Soviet border reinstatement voiced by Baltic states.
