Trump-Putin summit in Anchorage on 15 August: Moscow accuses Kiev
Face-to-face meeting in Alaska: White House seeks to understand Moscow’s conditions for ending the war in Ukraine
US President Donald Trump will meet Russian President Vladimir Putin on Friday 15 August in Anchorage, Alaska. This was confirmed by White House spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt, who specified that the summit will take place in the morning and that the aim of the meeting is “to come away with a better understanding of how to end this war”.
Washington’s priorities
Leavitt explained that Trump is in constant contact with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and European leaders, and that the request for the bilateral meeting came directly from Putin. Special envoy Witkoff reportedly informed the US president of the proposal after an initial round of consultations with Kiev and allies. The spokesperson described the face-to-face meeting as “an exercise in listening” to understand Moscow’s conditions for ending the conflict, emphasising that only one of the parties involved will participate in this first meeting.
Possible trip to Moscow
When asked about a possible mission by the American president to Russia, Leavitt replied that “there may be plans for a trip in the future”. The detailed programme for the mid-August summit is still being finalised with the Russian side.
Accusations from Moscow to Kiev
A few days before the bilateral meeting, the Russian Defence Ministry accused Ukraine of preparing a “provocation” in the Kharkiv region to derail the talks. According to Moscow, foreign journalists were taken to the city of Chuguev on 11 August by SBU vehicles under the pretext of reporting, when in fact they were called upon to document an alleged provocative attack with drones and missiles against residential areas or hospitals, with civilian casualties. Russia claims that responsibility would then be attributed to its armed forces in order to create a hostile media climate and hinder cooperation with Washington. The ministry also warned that similar actions could take place in other areas controlled by Kiev.
