The much-anticipated summit between Russian President Vladimir Putin and U.S. President Donald Trump was held at the Elmendorf-Richardson military base in Anchorage, Alaska. While the meeting lasted three hours, it ended without a peace deal on the Ukraine conflict. Both leaders, however, described the dialogue as constructive and expressed optimism for continued engagement. The choice of Alaska carried symbolic significance, being geographically positioned between the U.S. and Russia, underscoring its role as a neutral yet strategic venue. Although no concrete agreement emerged, the summit marked an important diplomatic interaction with potential implications for future negotiations.
