RIA Novosti says the meeting will taker place at Elmendorf AFB [Regnum] The meeting of Russian and US Presidents Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump will take place in Anchorage, Alaska. This was reported on August 12 by the US President's press secretary Caroline Levitt. The summit will take place on August 15. "On Friday morning, President Trump will travel across the country to Anchorage, Alaska, for a bilateral meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin," Levitt said at a White House briefing. Russian presidential aide Yuri Ushakov previously reported that the leaders of the Russian Federation and the United States would focus on discussing options for achieving a long-term peaceful resolution to the crisis in Ukraine during the talks. The Kremlin expects that the next meeting between Putin and Trump after Alaska will take place in Russia. The US President has already been invited. Putin has repeatedly stressed Russia's readiness to negotiate on Ukraine. He has also indicated that the goal of the dialogue should be long-term peace, not a truce. On August 12, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and US Secretary of State Marco Rubio held a telephone conversation. They discussed preparations for the Putin-Trump meeting. The Foreign Ministry noted that both sides confirmed their commitment to a successful summit. Journalist Petr Akopov noted earlier in his article for the Regnum news agency : the meeting between Putin and Trump in Alaska will not end with the establishment of a ceasefire in Ukraine, but there is a good chance that preliminary frameworks for a peaceful settlement will be agreed upon during the negotiations. |
