Hopes for an end to the war between Ukraine and Russia have once again increased. The world is focused on the meeting between U.S. President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin, which will take place in Alaska.
TRUMP AND PUTIN'S PLANES IN ALASKA
U.S. President Donald Trump has arrived in Alaska for his meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin. The Air Force One plane carrying the U.S. President landed at Elmendorf-Richardson Base, where the meeting will be held. Following that, Putin's plane also landed at the same base.
THE TWO LEADERS SIDE BY SIDE ON THE RED CARPET AFTER 6 YEARS
The two leaders met side by side on the red carpet at the military base. Trump, who walked alone at first, waited for Putin to join him. Putin and Trump shook hands. The leaders, who came together after 6 years, then got into the vehicle waiting for them together and headed to the meeting location.
FIRST FRAME FROM THE ROOM WHERE THE MEETING WILL TAKE PLACE
As the historic summit is expected to start within hours, the first frame has also come from the room where the two leaders will hold a press conference. The writing on the wall, "In pursuit of peace," caught attention.
PUTIN'S RESPONSE TO THE "CEASEFIRE" QUESTION
Russian President Putin and U.S. President Trump answered questions from reporters before their meeting in Alaska. Putin's response to a journalist's question, "Mr. Putin, will you accept a ceasefire? Will you continue to kill more civilians?" was noteworthy. Putin held his ear as if he couldn't hear.
TO BE HELD IN A "THREE ON THREE" FORMAT
Shortly before the summit, the White House announced that the meeting between Putin and Trump would take place in a "three on three" format, with Marco Rubio and Steve Whitkoff joining Trump.
"IT COULD LAST 6-7 HOURS"
Kremlin spokesperson Dmitriy Peskov stated that the discussions between the leaders could last a total of 6-7 hours. Peskov mentioned that aides would also participate in the one-on-one meeting and expressed their hope for a positive outcome.
HERE ARE THE AGENDAS ON THE TABLE
It is expected that the meeting will address the end of the Russia-Ukraine War, which has been ongoing since 2022, and the relations between the two countries.
"I WANT TO SEE A CEASEFIRE"
Hours before the meeting, Trump commented to Fox News regarding the U.S.-Russia summit to be held today in Alaska. Trump stated that he was on his way to meet Putin and believed that the meeting would go well.
Evaluating the possibility of a disagreement during the meeting, Trump said, "If things don't go well, I will quickly return home. I will leave. I want to see a ceasefire; I won't be happy if I don't see it today. If our meeting with Putin doesn't go well, I will leave."
PUTIN WILL BE THE FIRST RUSSIAN LEADER TO VISIT ALASKA
Although past U.S. visits were made by Soviet leaders Nikita Khrushchev, Leonid Brezhnev, Mikhail Gorbachev, as well as Boris Yeltsin and Dmitriy Medvedev from Russia, Putin will go down in history as the first Russian leader to visit Alaska. Putin's visit to New York in 2015 to attend the United Nations (UN) General Assembly is considered his last visit to the U.S.
