Trump Announces August 15 Alaska Summit with Putin on Ukraine War

President Trump has confirmed a highly anticipated meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin, scheduled for next Friday, August 15, 2025, in Alaska. The primary agenda for the summit is to discuss a plan to end the ongoing war in Ukraine, now in its fourth year.

Trump announced the upcoming talks via social media, stating, “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. Further details to follow.”

The meeting comes after months of speculation and a complicated relationship between the two leaders. Trump previously indicated that a peace deal might involve territorial exchanges. His posture towards Moscow has recently shifted, with threats of tougher sanctions against Russia, including steep tariffs on India, a major buyer of Russian oil.

This summit follows a recent meeting between Trump’s envoy Steve Witkoff and Putin on August 6 in Moscow, which Trump described as having made progress. Officials in Kyiv and across Europe remain critical, accusing Moscow of stalling while its troops advance in Eastern Ukraine amidst ongoing drone strikes by Ukraine deep into Russia.
