On August 15, 2025, U.S. President Donald Trump hosted Russian President Vladimir Putin at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson in Anchorage, Alaska. In a spectacle of diplomacy featuring a red-carpet welcome, limousine ride, and military flyover, the two leaders completed approximately 2.5 hours of talks—but left without reaching a ceasefire or actionable agreement on Ukraine . While both described the meeting as “productive,” pressing issues like stopping the war were left unresolved . European leaders vowed to uphold sanctions and reject any territorial veto by Russia on Ukraine’s EU or NATO aspirations . Ukrainian President Zelensky is set to meet Trump in Washington next week to continue dialogue. (PC: NDTV)
