U.S. President Donald Trump has announced that he will meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska on August 15, 2025. The main goal of this meeting is to discuss a way to end the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine.
What the Leaders Are Saying
The news of the meeting was shared by Trump on his social media platform, Truth Social. He called it a "highly anticipated meeting" and said that more details would be coming soon.
A Kremlin aide, Yury Ushakov, has also confirmed the meeting. He stated that the leaders will focus on finding a "long-term peaceful settlement to the Ukrainian crisis."
Trump has also mentioned the possibility of a peace deal involving a "swapping of territories" between Russia and Ukraine. However, he did not provide any specific details.
The Role of Ukraine
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has called for a three-way meeting that would include him, Trump, and Putin. However, the Kremlin has not commented on this idea and is focused on the one-on-one meeting with Trump.
This will be Putin's first trip to the United States in a decade. The location, Alaska, is a symbolic choice as it is geographically close to Russia, where the two countries' economic interests often meet.
The meeting is seen as Trump's most direct attempt yet to fulfill his campaign promise of ending the war.
