Trump and Putin Alaska Summit 2025: High-Stakes Talks Yield No Ceasefire in Ukraine.

The Trump-Putin summit in Alaska 2025 held at Joint Base Elmendorf–Richardson was significant for US-Russia relations. It also marked a pivotal moment in the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war. Despite high global expectations, the talks concluded without a formal peace agreement. They also did not reach a ceasefire in Ukraine. This outcome leaves many questions about the future of diplomatic efforts.
