Live updates: Trump, Putin to meet in Alaska for high-stakes summit
A critical meeting between President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin is taking place in Alaska today.
What is the agenda for the summit?
Dig deeper:
The primary focus of the meeting is to discuss a potential path to peace in Ukraine, which Russia invaded more than three and a half years ago.
"There will be very severe consequences" if Putin does not agree to a ceasefire after the summit, Trump said.
Kyiv has agreed to a ceasefire, but Moscow has presented conditions that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has rejected as nonstarters. Those conditions include Ukraine withdrawing its troops from four regions Russia illegally annexed, halting mobilization efforts, and freezing Western arms deliveries.
For a broader peace, Putin has also demanded that Kyiv cede the annexed regions and Crimea, renounce its bid to join NATO, and limit the size of its armed forces. Zelenskyy has insisted any peace deals include robust security guarantees to protect Ukraine from future Russian aggression.
Both sides confirmed the meeting would be only between Trump and Putin. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy was not invited to the summit, despite initial suggestions he might attend. The Kremlin has long opposed meeting with Zelenskyy until a peace deal is ready to be signed.
Zelenskyy, who has held virtual meetings with Trump and European leaders this week, said that Putin "is bluffing" about his military might and that any decisions made without Ukraine’s involvement are "against peace."
French President Emmanuel Macron said Wednesday that Trump was "very clear" in a virtual meeting with European leaders and Zelenskyy that the U.S. wants to achieve a ceasefire, and that "territorial issues relating to Ukraine … will only be negotiated by the Ukrainian president."
