How Putin Could Try to Outmaneuver Trump when They Meet

The meeting aims to negotiate Ukraine war peace despite skepticism; experts say Russia holds battlefield advantages and Trump faces criticism for his approach, analysts note.

  • Russian President Vladimir Putin and President Donald Trump of the United States are scheduled to hold talks in Alaska on Friday aimed at negotiating an end to the conflict in Ukraine.
  • The meeting follows years of conflict since Russia's 2014 invasion, with Ukraine excluded from talks and wary of potential demands to cede territory.
  • Ukraine controls about 80% of its territory, while Russia holds roughly 20%, and most Ukrainians oppose giving up land for peace.
  • Michael Froman said a ceasefire emerging from the summit would be significant but warned that trading territory at Ukraine’s expense risks unsustainability.
  • The summit could shape geopolitical and economic relations, but many experts doubt Putin’s seriousness and expect Russia to seek broad concessions.
