Trump-Putin Alaska Meeting Sets Up Ukraine War Negotiation

Welcome to Foreign policyThe situation report, where we look forward to the big event that occurs on Friday: the beginning of the Premier League season. (Do you think we meant something else?)

Well, here is what is on the tap for today: What is expected in Trump Putin Summit In Alaska, IsraelKilled journalists in GazaAnd spread Federal forces in Washington.

US President Donald Trump is preparing to meet Russian President Vladimir Putin on Friday for a very expected summit in the Ukraine war. The meeting, which is held at the Elmendorf-Richardson joint base in Anchorage, Alaska, will start at 11:30 am local time (3:30 pm Easter).

The leader of the world will meet first with one on one with the present of the translators only, followed by a bilateral work lunch with delegations from both countries, according to Karmalin. At the end of the summit, the two leaders will hold a joint press conference. Trump also indicated that he could take a single press conference if the meeting continues poorly.

It is not clear specifically who will attend as part of the American delegation, but Putin Assistant Yuri Ushakov on Thursday said, in addition to himself, the Russian delegation will include Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, Defense Secretary Andre Pelosov, Resolution Minister Anton Selwanov, and the private economic person Kiril Demidifrif.

The risks are high, the White House has reduced expectations for the meeting. On Thursday, Trump told Radio Fox News that he believed Putin “will make a deal”, but he also said that there was a 25 percent opportunity because the meeting would not succeed.

Here is what you need to know before meeting.

What Putin wants. It seems that Moscow is looking at the summit as a great diplomatic victory and an opportunity to reset relations with Washington, and indicated that controlling commercial weapons and nuclear weapons could also be on the agenda. On Thursday, Putin praised the Trump administration to make “active and honest efforts” to end the war in Ukraine.

But the Kremlin on Thursday also said it would be wrong to predict the outcome of the summit and that there are no plans to sign any documents.

“In reality, Putin does not need to achieve a lot of this meeting, unlike the same meeting and not having to make any concessions,” said Cilest and Anand, an assistant colleague at a new American security center who led the US defense policy to support Ukraine in the framework of “Biden Policy” at a press conference on Thursday. “What he wants from this meeting is simply the meeting – the optics from the call to the United States while it is under an international matter on the charge of war crimes.”

Meanwhile, Russia has climbed attacks on Ukrainian civilians and did not continue to pressure to control more Ukrainian lands. According to the United Nations, July witnessed the highest civil losses from the war since May 2022, and Ukrainian President Voludmir Zelinski warned this week that Russia is preparing to perform more operations on the front line and preparing tens of thousands of forces for a new attack. The Russian army has achieved gains near the northern city of Sumi this week, according to the Washington Capital Institute to study the war.

What Trump wants. Trump described the summit as a “feeling” meeting, raising questions about the reason for its inability to make a phone call, especially given the extent of the controversy in Putin’s call to the United States. However, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said this week that Trump spoke to Putin on the phone several times, but nothing came from him, so the president felt that sitting face to face was necessary.

The summit comes after months of failed efforts from Trump to secure a deal to end the fighting in Ukraine. Trump indicated that if the Alaska summit goes well, he hopes to hold a later meeting between Putin and Zelinski, who may also attend Trump. Putin also warned that there will be “severe consequences” if the war does not end yet.

Although Trump has run out of his patience with Putin with the start of the war in Ukraine, he also has a history of taking the Russian leader team. Trump also did not follow a threat to impose a large number of new economic sanctions on Russia if the war was not ended by August 8.

What Ukraine and Europe want. Zelinski, who does not believe that Putin really wants peace, does not attend the summit, and Ukraine and its allies are concerned that Putin can persuade Trump to support a framework for an agreement with bad conditions for Kev – like major regional privileges for Moscow. Russia is currently occupying about five Ukraine, and Zelinski does not want to waive land as part of a peace agreement.

European leaders, including Zelinski, rushed to extract clear red lines before the summit, and held a virtual meeting with Trump on Wednesday, apparently fruitful. The attendees said that Trump agreed that he would not negotiate on the land on behalf of Ukraine while supporting the idea of security guarantees, Kiev. But it remains to see whether Trump, who discussed in the last days the need to exchange the land between the warring parties, will adhere to the scenario.

US State Department spokeswoman Tami Bruce held her final press conference on Tuesday, after being nominated by Trump (through social truth) as a new American deputy for the United Nations. “His intention was a surprise, as his request at Christmas was asking me to become the spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs,” Bruce, the former Fox News, told reporters. “I am surprised at the time and continued to honor him so much and grateful to the President’s confidence.”

Dean Paul, who served as a graduate consultant in artificial intelligence at the White House of Science and Technology Office, announced that he will leave the White House and join the American Innovation Foundation, a research center. Ball played a major role in collecting the AI’s AI Management Plan, which was released last month.

What should be on your radar, if not really.

Israel kills journalists. The Israeli Defense Forces killed four Al -Jazeera journalists in Gaza on Sunday, including prominent correspondents, Anas Al -Sharif and Muhammad Al -Qaraqiyah. In a statement, the network, which is partially funded by the Qatari government, described its death as “an assassination[s]And “another blatant and pre -attributed attack on the freedom of the press.

This is all, although Israel greatly prevents foreign journalists from reporting inside Gaza. Hundreds of journalists from all over the world have signed a petition calling on Israel to the opposite of this policy.

More than two years after a civil war killed tens of thousands of people and explained the other millions, Sudan is now suffering from the outbreak of cholera, which threatens its inhabitants more. This disease was afflicted by 100,000 people over the past year and kill nearly 3000, according to Médecins Sans Frontières, which he described as “the worst outbreak of cholera that the country has witnessed years ago.”

Forces in the capital The US National Guard forces arrived in Washington, DC, this week after Trump published it to deal with what he described as a “violent and threatened crime in the street” in the country’s capital. Trump has not been tightened with numbers indicating that the crime in the city is at its lowest level in 30 years.

Winning exploded on a large scale among the capital’s residents in the opinion of the opinion on Wednesday evening when the Federal agents created a checkpoint in the middle of one of the most popular night life areas in the city on 14th Street to stop vehicles and question their drivers.

John wrote a useful article last week that puts what we know – and we do not know – about the hunger crisis in Gaza, with an auxiliary factor on the ground describing the situation as “horrific” and “engineering chaos”. Meanwhile, Rishi and FP Johnson’s correspondent dug in Trump’s controversial approach to stimulating the American semiconductor industry.

The leak of “huge and unexpected” jellyfish from the jellyfish at a large nuclear power plant in France caused them to be temporarily closed this week. The jellyfish, which enters the nuclear power plant nomination barrels at Gravelines, has been turning off four reactors. Fortunately, this has not caused any factory safety problems. Many types of sea lamps prefer warmer water, and experts say that the swarm that the plant invading can be linked to a modern thermal wave in Europe, which has created the ideal conditions for certain types of gels to reproduce faster and larger numbers.
