Vladimir Putin is unlikely to visit Alaska to present a territorial demand to Donald Trump regarding the state. Instead, he is focused on negotiating territory exchanges in Ukraine in return for a ceasefire. The idea of Alaska as a summit location has been promoted by Ushakov, suggesting its strategic significance. The remote location mitigates geopolitical issues, allowing for private talks between Trump and Putin. Putin's visit would pose fewer risks and challenges, considering his wanted status by the international criminal court for war crimes, while the US does not recognize this warrant.
Putin's foreign affairs adviser called Alaska an 'entirely logical location for the summit', despite the difficult journey from both Moscow and Washington, DC.
Alaska serves as a safe location for Putin, as he is wanted by the international criminal court, which neither Russia nor the US recognize.
