Trump to meet Putin in Alaska

Trump and Putin

U.S. President Donald Trump said on Friday he will meet Russian President Vladimir Putin next week in Alaska, and hinted that any eventual deal to end the war in Ukraine might involve swapping territory.

The Kremlin later confirmed the summit, calling the location “quite logical.”

“The presidents themselves will undoubtedly focus on discussing options for achieving a long-term peaceful settlement of the Ukrainian crisis,” Kremlin aide Yuri Ushakov said in a statement posted on Telegram.

Tens of thousands of people have been killed since Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, with millions forced to flee their homes. Punch
