💨 Abstract

In August 2025, U.S. President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin are set to meet in Alaska, a key summit for both leaders. The event is seen as a victory for Russia, enhancing Putin's international standing and nationalist credentials. The primary focus is on ending the war in Ukraine, with Russia potentially pushing for territorial concessions from Ukraine. Trump has threatened severe consequences if Putin doesn't agree to end the conflict, but Putin appears less willing to compromise.
