2025-08-15 21:19:39 / BOTA
The eyes of the whole world are turned to Alaska, where the leaders of two great powers sit across from each other today to reach an agreement on the war in Ukraine.
The red carpet was rolled out between military aircraft. The first to land on Alaskan soil was US President Donald Trump, followed nearly 30 minutes later by Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Meanwhile, foreign media have published the first images from the hall, where the press conference will be held after the meeting. In a text in the background, the message "In search of peace" is clearly visible.
White House Press Secretary Caroline Leavitt told reporters that Trump will be accompanied by Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Special Envoy Steve Witkoff.
The bilateral luncheon that will follow will also be attended by Rubio, Witkoff, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Chief of Staff Susie Wiles.
20:49 – Trump greets Alaska politicians on Air Force One as he awaits Putin's arrival
President Donald Trump is still aboard Air Force One as President Vladimir Putin arrives in Alaska. While waiting on the plane, he is greeting Alaska Senators Lisa Murkowski and Dan Sullivan, as well as the state's Governor Mike Dunleavy, according to the White House.
Trump has a somewhat strained relationship, especially with Murkowski, who often opposes his priorities in the Senate.
20:46 – A 'breath' away from the meeting in Alaska between Trump and Putin, some people protest with Ukrainian flags
The protests in support of Ukraine have taken place on the eve of the highly anticipated meeting between US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin in Anchorage, Alaska, where they are expected to discuss ending Russia's war in Ukraine.
What is expected from the historic meeting?
In a statement from the Kremlin shortly before the meeting, it was said that the talks between the American and Russian Presidents would last for hours. According to Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov, the Trump-Putin talks could last up to seven hours. According to him, Trump will meet Putin on the steps of the plane when the latter arrives in Alaska.
On the way to Anchorage, President Putin visited Magadan, a port city on the Sea of Okhotsk. He stopped at a fish oil processing plant and met with local officials.
Earlier in the day, the White House chief of staff expressed confidence that his Russian counterpart would not play games in their first face-to-face meeting in 6 years.
“Nëse nuk do të isha president, Putini do të kishte preferuar të merrte shumë të më tepër, do të synonte kontrollin e të gjithë Ukrainës. Por unë jam president dhe ai nuk do të bëjë lojëra me mua”.
Republikani shtoi më tej me të njëjtën vetëbesim se do të arrijë ta kuptojë që në minutat e para nëse ky do të jetë një takim i mirë. Në të kundërt, u shpreh Trump, “ka për të përfunduar shumë shpejt”.
Trump duket nuk e përjashton mundësinë që takimi me shefin e Kremlinit të mbyllet pa ndonjë rezultat. Ai i mëshon idesë se kjo përballje është kryesisht përgatitje për një takim të dytë me Putinin dhe Zelenskin, që mund të zhvillohet gjithashtu në Alaskë dhe kjo mund të ndodhë shumë shpejt. Po ashtu, Trump tha se takimin e dytë mund të marrin pjesë edhe disa udhëheqës europianë.
