Trump says he’ll meet with Putin next Friday in Alaska to discuss ending war in Ukraine

U.S. President Donald Trump said that he and Russian President Vladimir Putin will meet next Friday in Alaska to discuss bringing an end to Russia’s war in Ukraine. The Kremlin has not yet confirmed the details.
The meeting would be the first U.S.-Russia summit since 2021, when former President Joe Biden met Putin in Geneva.
It could mean a breakthrough in Trump’s effort to end the war, although there’s no guarantee it would stop the fighting since Moscow and Kyiv remain far apart on their conditions for peace.
Look, if he wanted to end the war, he could arrest Putin the moment he lands, and extradite him to the international criminal court. War would probably end real fast. He won't do that. Didn't do that with Naziyahoo, I don't think he will here. I'd love to be surprised.
Fun to think about, but you don’t think Russia has a contingency for such a thing that might involve lobbing some nukes over at us
