In a high-stakes summit in Anchorage, Alaska, US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin are set to discuss the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. The meeting, the first face-to-face interaction between the two leaders since Trump returned to office in January, is expected to focus on the prospect of a ceasefire to end Russia’s devastating three-and-a-half-year war against Ukraine.
Ahead of the summit, Trump hinted at a possible “swapping of territories” as part of a larger ceasefire deal, but both Russia and Ukraine have shown no interest in ceding land. The United Nations has emphasized the importance of dialogue and a peaceful resolution as the two leaders prepare to meet.
The war in Ukraine has been a long-standing issue, with key regions in Ukraine claimed by Russia. France24 Correspondent Emmanuelle Chaze reports from Kyiv, shedding light on the complexities of the conflict and the implications of potential decisions made during the summit.
NBC News’ Richard Engel also reports from the frontlines in Ukraine, highlighting the ongoing devastation caused by the conflict as the summit concludes without a ceasefire announcement.
The meeting between Trump and Putin has global implications, with many hoping for a resolution that could reshape the global order, determine Ukraine’s future, and redefine America’s foreign policy stance. However, the lack of a ceasefire announcement indicates that the conflict in Ukraine is far from over.
As the world watches the outcome of the summit, it remains to be seen how the discussions between Trump and Putin will impact the future of Ukraine and international relations.
