Trump and Putin are meeting in Alaska to discuss the ongoing war in Ukraine. The summit will start with a one-on-one discussion, followed by a joint press conference. Trump has expressed frustration over Putin's actions and indicated potential consequences for Russia. Putin may divert discussions toward arms control, particularly given the expiration of the New Start Treaty. Ukrainians doubt that significant outcomes will arise from the meeting, as President Zelenskyy seeks global support without Ukrainian participation being prioritized in negotiations.
President Trump and Russian leader Vladimir Putin are expected to meet today in Alaska for a high-stakes summit in an effort to end Russia's war with Ukraine.
Trump has not been precise about what he wants out of the summit, mentioning the need to "divvy up" territory, which Zelenskyy opposes.
Before leaving Moscow, Putin suggested that the talks could also focus on strategic security or nuclear arms control.
In Ukraine, the people NPR's Greg Myre has talked to have had two basic responses: Nothing significant will come from the meeting and Putin is committed to continuing the war.
