What to Know About the Putin-Trump Summit in Alaska
ALASKA, UNITED STATES, AUG 11 – The summit aims to address Russia's war against Ukraine, with Trump seeking peace talks despite Ukrainian opposition to territorial concessions, as 69% of Ukrainians favor negotiating peace, polls show.
- On Friday, President Donald Trump will meet Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska for their first face-to-face since before Russia’s 2022 invasion.
- Amid talk of a new Munich agreement, Europe’s leaders’ failures in 2008, 2014, and 2022 echo the 'ghost of 1938'.
- Despite early proposals, Putin rejected including Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, raising concerns from Ukraine and European allies that excluding Kyiv could empower Putin to force concessions.
- Observers warn Trump may concede to Putin, risking an unacceptable peace for Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, especially if a plan is proposed this Friday.
- Given past failures, the summit’s outcome remains uncertain, and whether it can produce peace more than 3 1/2 years after Moscow’s invasion is unclear.
