... ANCHORAGE, ALASKA, USA - AUG. 15, 2025: Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson in Alaska will host a historic meeting between Russian and U.S. leaders on Aug. 15, 2025, marking a rare high-level encounter amid strained bilateral relations.

The high-stakes meeting at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson in Anchorage will also mark the first direct talks between sitting US and Russian presidents since June 2021, when then-President Joe Biden met Putin in Geneva.

For Trump and Putin, their last bilateral meeting was in Osaka on the sidelines of the 2019 G20 summit.

Notably absent from the table will be Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. While Trump has said he might call Zelenskyy for a follow-up discussion depending on Friday’s outcome, the Alaska summit will be held without third parties, a format that has drawn concern in Kyiv.

The meeting comes after three recent rounds of renewed direct talks between Moscow and Kyiv in Istanbul – on May 16, June 2, and July 23 – which produced major prisoner swaps and draft memoranda outlining both sides’ positions for a future peace deal.
