Divya Delhi:Prior to his Friday meeting with Putin in Alaska, US President Donald Trump expressed confidence that Putin is ready for peace. US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin will hold an important summit in Anchorage, Alaska. The gathering could affect world diplomacy and the Ukraine war. The meeting is Friday at 11:30 am Alaska time (3:30 pm ET). Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, a significant US military base 700 miles from Russia, will host the discussions. The installation is suitable for security and houses 30,000 military, their families, and civilian staff. The first elected Russian president to visit Alaska, Putin's visit is historic. Russia sold this land to the US for $7.2 million in 1867. Putin will make his ninth US visit since 1999 if this visit goes as scheduled. This summit occurs under tense international relations. Ukraine's future is in jeopardy, while Europe faces a massive threat from Russia. The absence of Ukrainian and EU delegates raises several problems. Analysts believe this dialogue could change America-Russia relations, which are still unsettled. Although the meeting's agenda is unknown, officials from both countries have stated that the Ukraine war will be the main focus. Additionally, security, arms control, and global stability can be explored. The Ukraine crisis has destabilized world politics and undermined established alliance groups, making this conference crucial for US-Russia ties and the changing global balance of power.
