Putin praises Trump's 'energetic and sincere' peace efforts ahead of Alaska summit

Putin commended Trump’s efforts to end the Ukraine conflict and highlighted potential peace through strategic weapons control at the upcoming US-Russia summit, officials said.

  • On Thursday, Russian President Vladimir Putin commended U.S. President Donald Trump for actively working to bring an end to the conflict in Ukraine ahead of their scheduled summit in Alaska on Friday.
  • The summit follows ongoing sanctions by the U.S. and Europe and diplomatic tensions, with Ukrainian President Zelenskyy warning that Putin does not want peace and aims to occupy Ukraine.
  • Trump held a meeting on Wednesday at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson in Anchorage, promising to prioritize a ceasefire, but said a second meeting with Putin and Zelenskyy depends on receiving necessary answers.
  • Putin stated that peace depends on agreements controlling strategic offensive weapons under the 2011 New START treaty, which limits nuclear warheads and expires on February 5, 2026.
  • The Alaska summit’s outcome could shape long-term peace conditions in Europe, though Zelenskyy and allies remain wary it might favor Moscow without stronger guarantees and pressure on Russia.
