Hundreds gathered in Anchorage to protest against Vladimir Putin's arrival for a meeting with Donald Trump regarding a peace deal to end the Ukraine-Russia war. This meeting marks the first face-to-face interaction between a U.S. president and Putin since the invasion in 2022. Protesters raised pro-Ukraine chants, waved flags, and demanded the return of abducted Ukrainian children. The Native Movement NGO condemned the meeting as a betrayal of Alaska's history, criticizing the decision to host a leader deemed a war criminal.
Protestors reportedly also held signs demanding the return of 20,000 children Ukraine said Russia has abducted during the war.
The decision to host Putin, a war criminal, on Alaskan soil is a betrayal of our history and the moral clarity demanded by the suffering of Ukraine.
