In a whirlwind diplomatic twist, US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin have met in Anchorage, Alaska, to discuss the ongoing Ukraine conflict. The two powerful leaders greeted each other with notably warm handshakes on the tarmac, setting an upbeat tone for this unexpected summit. The high-stakes talks have drawn attention worldwide as both leaders aim to bridge their formidable differences.

 

Accompanied by senior officials from each administration, Trump and Putin's discussions could potentially alter the course of the Ukraine conflict. However, notable by his absence is Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who, despite being a key player in the matter, wasn’t invited to this meeting. Zelenskyy, voicing concern, stated that Ukraine heavily relies on America and observed no signs indicating that Moscow might halt its military actions any time soon.

 

From Kyiv, the mood is notably sceptical, with residents unsure of what these talks might achieve. With countless lives affected and uncertainty looming, many Ukrainians are watching closely, curious about how these discussions could impact their future. Meanwhile, soldiers in the Russian trenches have reportedly expressed a weary desire for resolution and peace.

 

As the leaders engage in their dialogues, the core challenge lies in addressing the vast divide between Russian and Ukrainian demands. Analysts suggest these negotiations could test Trump's diplomatic abilities significantly. The world now watches to see if this meeting could mark a pivotal moment in the long-standing conflict or if it will simply be a diplomatic spectacle without concrete outcomes.

Is it possible Putin believes his own propaganda and doesn't know his army targets civilians and steals children?

Putin wants to help? Kiss of death more like.
