BBC: Trump and Putin to meet in Alaska next Friday for Ukraine war talks

https://www.bbc.com/news/live/cvgnpv1x3ygt

Donald Trump has just confirmed his face-to-face meeting with Vladimir Putin will take place in the US state of Alaska next Friday.

He wrote on social media: "The highly anticipated meeting between myself, as President of the United States of America, and President Vladimir Putin, of Russia, will take place next Friday, August 15, 2025, in the Great State of Alaska.




Just curious where they will meet??



Anchorage?? Maybe Fairbanks with the military support nearby to ensure all flights are safe?

I'm now leaning Eielson AFB... a safe spot, it's own small city.

Putin didn't want a Peace deal in January because for the last 6 months they've strengthened their position on the battlefield and are in a better negotiation spot right now...

Zelenskyy mentioned the other day that giving up Donetsk and Luhansk wasn't out of the question but by law would require a nationwide vote.(referendum)

Then she can finally somewhat accurately say she sees Russia from her house.
