Supporters urged by Trump to provide him with financial backing
In the chilly climate of Anchorage, Alaska, on August 15, 2025, a historic summit between US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin is set to unfold. The meeting, scheduled to begin at 10:00 PM Moscow time, promises to be a significant event with major implications for US-Russia relations and the future of peace in Ukraine.
As the world watches with bated breath, the core participants will be President Trump and President Putin. The exact details of other officials or aides present are not yet disclosed. The Russian delegation includes Minister of Finance Anton Siluanov, Special Representative of the head of Russia for investment and economic cooperation with foreign countries Kirill Dmitriev, and Minister of Foreign Affairs Sergey Lavrov, with Ambassador to the US Alexander Darichev already in Anchorage.
The primary focus of the summit is to discuss peace in Ukraine. The ongoing conflict has been a source of global concern, and the summit provides an opportunity for both leaders to negotiate positions related to the issue. However, some sources express concern that the summit could turn into a "surrender summit," implying controversial concessions might be involved.
During the meeting, proposals regarding territorial exchanges and Kyiv's renunciation of NATO membership may be discussed. Economic cooperation between Russia and the US is also expected to be a topic of discussion.
In an unprecedented move, during his meeting with Putin, President Trump sent a fundraising email to his supporters, urging a $10 contribution. The email, titled "Trump in Alaska! With Putin!," emphasized the high importance of the meeting and portrayed Trump as uniquely capable of making deals, while highlighting that Democrats hoped the talks would fail.
As the summit commences, support rallies for Ukraine are being held nearby, with participants waving blue and yellow flags, symbolizing their solidarity with Ukraine.
