Trump and Putin to Discuss Peace at Meeting in Anchorage

  • The meeting between Trump and Putin will take place on September 13 in Anchorage.
  • Discussion of territorial issues has sparked concern among European leaders.
  • Secretary of State Rubino emphasized that the meeting is not a concession to Putin.

On September 13, 2025, U.S. President Donald Trump will meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Anchorage, Alaska. This meeting has raised concerns among European leaders due to potential negative consequences for Ukraine.

The meeting will occur against the backdrop of deteriorating relations between the U.S. and Russia, which have worsened since Russia's invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. Trump expressed his intention to discuss the issue of "sharing territories," although Ukraine has already stated its non-acceptance of such proposals.

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubino noted that the meeting is not a concession to Putin but aims to clarify positions. He stressed that Trump wants to address all the facts and understand whether there are chances for successful negotiations.

According to experts, the absence of European leaders at the negotiations evokes associations with the Yalta Conference of 1945, when decisions were made without the participation of the countries involved. Trump believes that it is necessary to quickly assess Putin's readiness for compromise.

Earlier in 2018, during a meeting in Helsinki, Trump adopted an unusual approach in dealing with Putin, which sparked concern among his advisors. They worry that a similar situation could repeat itself.
