Just a day before Alaska talks, Russian President Vladimir Putin on Thursday (August 14) held a meeting in Moscow, discussing how the negotiations process on the Ukrainian crisis is going, before he leaves for Alaska. Putin praised US President Donald Trump for his "sincere efforts" to stop the crisis and reach an agreement.
The Russian president chaired a meeting involving members of the negotiating team that will join him at the summit in Alaska tomorrow. The team will also include Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov.
“The current American administration… is making, in my opinion, quite energetic and sincere efforts to stop the hostilities, stop the crisis and reach agreements that are of interest to all parties involved in this conflict,” Putin said.
He further said that peace will be strengthened between Russia and the US, as well as the wider world, if the two countries reach agreements in the field of nuclear arms control.
Russian President Vladimir Putin and US President Donald Trump are set to meet on Friday (August 15) in Alaska to discuss the future of the Russia-Ukraine war and peace efforts. Kremlin aide Yuri Ushakov on Thursday detailed the agenda of the meeting, along with the timings.
The talks between the two leaders are scheduled to begin at 22:30 Moscow time (7:30 GMT/1 am IST) in Alaska, at the Elmendorf-Richardson military base.
