Trump heads to high-stakes Alaska summit with Putin
Donald Trump is going to Alaska with Vladimir Putin with Vladimir Putin to discuss the cease -fire agreement to help end the most deadly war of Europe since the Second World War of Ukraine.
The Kremlin says Putin-Trump talks can take at least six to seven hours.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy and European allies, who are not invited to negotiations, are afraid that Trump can sell Ukraine essentially freezing Ukraine, and only by recognizing the control of Ukraine.
Trump tried to get concerns, saying that Ukraine would allow you to decide on possible regional swaps.
“I’m not here to negotiate for Ukraine, I’m here to get them on a table,” he said.
Both the US and Russian presidents have been gaining from the first face to face since Trump returned to the White House, as they will meet at a Cold War Period Air Force Base in the largest city of Alaska.
Trump, who threw the war as a “blood bath”, presses the Nobel Peace Prize in the 3.5 -year -old war as a global peaceful submitting for a ceasefire to support identity information.
For Putin, the summit is already a big win, because the West can use it to say that years of attempts to isolate Russia have been solved and that Moscow has taken back the rightful place in the upper picture of international diplomacy.
With a symbolic gesture for Alaska, Putin bloomed on Friday in a monument of Russia’s US-Soviet cooperation in the Far East in the Second World War.
The Kremlin said Putin would come to Alaska at 11:00 (Saturday, 05:00 Saturday) and meet the Russian leader on Trump’s plane.
Trump said that it would end Russia’s war in Ukraine in 24 hours, on Thursday, proved that it was a harder hazelnut than he thought.
If the talks go well, Zelenskiy said that the second three -way summit would be more important than his encounter with Putin.
Zelenskiy wrote on Friday in the Telegram messaging application, “Time to end the war and the necessary steps should be taken by Russia. We trust America”.
A source introduced to the idea of the Kremlin, given that Putin understands Russia’s economic fragility and the costs of continuing the war, he said that Moscow may be ready to compromise in Ukraine.
“He’s a smart man, he’s been doing it for a long time, but so… We agreed, there is a good level of respect on both sides,” he said.
Reuters reported that Putin might be willing to freeze the conflict along the front lines, provided that he was legally binding pledge in order not to grow NATO east and to remove some Western sanctions.
Russia, which shows signs of coercion in the war economy, is vulnerable to the US sanctions.
Trump threatened tariffs for Russian crude oil buyers, especially China and India.
“Economic problems for Putin are secondary to targets, but understands our vulnerable and costs,” the Russian source said.
On the eve of the summit, Putin revealed the possibility of a new nuclear weapon control agreement to replace the last survivor, something else that Trump knows, and ended in February next year.
The source, which is familiar with the idea of Kremlin, said the two sides seem to have found a common ground.
The Ukrainians who spoke with Reuters in the center of Kyiv on Friday were not optimistic about the Alaska summit.
“There will be nothing good there, because war will not end. We will not give anything to the regions,” he said.
