Trump-Putin Alaska summit: What's on the agenda and what's at stake?
Briefly

President Trump and President Putin are scheduled to meet in Anchorage, Alaska, as they seek to negotiate a ceasefire in the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. Experts express skepticism regarding the likelihood of ending the war during this summit. This meeting is particularly significant as it marks Putin's first visit to the US in a decade, along with being the first visit of a Russian leader to Alaska. Notably, Ukraine's President Zelenskyy will not be present, prompting criticism from Trump regarding Ukraine's efforts in the conflict.
The highly anticipated summit could see the beginnings of a peace deal but will likely not end the war, experts say. Both leaders will meet at the US military's Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson in Anchorage, Alaska.
Accompanying Russian delegation members include: Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, Defence Minister Andrei Belousov, Finance Minister Anton Siluanov, and Special Presidential Envoy on Foreign Investment and Economic Cooperation Kirill Dmitriev.
