Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin finally met face to face. This was reported by Zamin.uz.
They walked together in the military base area of Anchorage, Alaska, passing by a line of airplanes and heading towards the cars. This situation raised many questions.
Although the Russian president is usually known for traveling in his Aurus car, this time he rode together in Trump's Cadillac. Experts interpreted this as a sign of easing relations.
At the same time, this was also shown as the first time Trump created conditions for a personal conversation. Among the planes flying by were the “B-2” stealth bomber and four F-35 fighter jets.
This display was officially announced as an air show, but some experts tried to interpret it symbolically. On social media, there were also reports of five F-22 fighter jets flying, but main sources noted the F-35 aircraft.
Rumors about the “B-2” aircraft's operations in other areas have not been officially confirmed. During the meeting, the presidents shook hands and posed for a photo in front of the “Alaska 2025” sign.
At that moment, American journalists asked Putin questions demanding to stop killing civilians in Ukraine. Putin later reported that he did not hear these questions.
Later, similar difficult questions were asked in the hall, but due to noise and disorder, the journalists were removed. The Kremlin released initial videos of the meeting without sound because the environment was very noisy.
The meeting started in an open format. From Russia, Vladimir Putin, his advisor Yuri Ushakov, and Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov participated.
From the US side, Donald Trump, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and Special Envoy Steven Whitkoff attended. Then the negotiations continued behind closed doors for several hours.
During the open session, the questions from journalists caused Putin to reflect deeply. After that, the presidents moved to the closed phase of the meeting, where clear exchanges of views on key issues took place.
No major agreement was announced after the meeting. Trump emphasized that no deal had been reached yet and stated that the next decision depends on the Ukrainian leader.
He said there are still possibilities to temporarily halt the war, but the process will not be easy. Putin noted signs of mutual understanding between the parties.
Lavrov gave a brief but ironic answer to a journalist's question. He said that sanctions against Russia will definitely be lifted by whoever imposed them.
This response was clearly understood from his style of speech. The meeting revealed several important aspects.
Firstly, Trump preferred to work with an expanded team instead of previous one-on-one dialogues. Secondly, the air display at the military base in Alaska was interpreted as a show of strength by Washington.
In conclusion, the meeting between Trump and Putin in Anchorage was full of symbols and signals. A car ride conversation, stealth planes in the sky, a storm of questions, and ironic answers made the meeting unique.
The main question remains open: will this meeting lead to real results or will it remain just another protocol page in history? The answer will become clear in the next stages.
Note: Some details, such as the number and types of aircraft and explanations, may vary across sources. Sensational claims do not have official confirmation.
