On August 15, 2025, President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin met in Anchorage, Alaska, at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, sparking global attention. Aimed at ending the Russia-Ukraine war, the summit lasted over two hours but ended without a ceasefire deal. Trump called it "very productive," noting "great progress" on some points, though he admitted, "There’s no deal until there’s a deal." Putin emphasized addressing Russia’s concerns for lasting peace, warning against interference from Ukraine or Europe. 🌍

The warm red-carpet welcome for Putin marked a diplomatic shift, contrasting his isolation since 2022. Trump plans to call Zelenskyy and NATO leaders, hinting at a future trilateral meeting. Despite optimism, no concrete agreement emerged, leaving Ukraine’s fate uncertain. 😔 Russian advances in Donetsk and ongoing strikes underscore the stakes. 💥

Public reactions vary—some see hope, others skepticism. Trump’s push for peace contrasts with Putin’s strategic gains, raising questions about future talks. Will Alaska 2025 be a turning point or a missed chance? Stay tuned as the world watches this high-stakes chess game unfold. ♟️
