Trump and Putin Meet in Alaska to Push for Ukraine Peace Deal

Report by “Safarti Tarjuman” International News Desk

ANCHORAGE, Alaska — US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin met in Anchorage, Alaska on Friday for high-stakes talks aimed at ending the ongoing war in Ukraine.

Both leaders arrived separately, greeted each other with a firm handshake, and stood before a backdrop marked “ALASKA 2025”, as global media captured the symbolic moment.

Speaking ahead of the talks, Trump made it clear that an immediate halt to fighting was his priority.

“I want to see a ceasefire — and I won’t be happy if it’s not today,” Trump told reporters.

Originally planned as a one-on-one discussion, the meeting has expanded to include senior US officials and members of the Russian cabinet, indicating a wider diplomatic engagement.

Putin landed in Alaska earlier in the day, accompanied by key members of his government. Russian media reported that Moscow’s delegation is prepared to discuss territorial disputes, security guarantees, and humanitarian aid corridors for civilians in conflict zones.

The summit comes as tensions rise in Ukraine, particularly in frontline cities where residents fear the possibility of land being ceded to Russia as part of a peace deal. Ukrainian officials have expressed cautious optimism but remain wary of concessions.

Analysts suggest the outcome could shape the future of the Ukraine conflict, with potential implications for NATO security policy, US-Russia relations, and global energy markets. A ceasefire deal could mark the most significant diplomatic breakthrough since the war began in 2022.
