Local time on August 8, U.S. President Trump announced on his social media platform 'Truth Social' that he would meet with Russian President Putin on August 15 in Alaska. The Russian side immediately confirmed the meeting and stated that the focus of the talks would be on achieving a long-term peace plan for Ukraine. The choice of location for the meeting has attracted significant attention. As an American territory, Alaska is far from both Washington and Moscow, indicating the careful consideration of both the U.S. and Russia in arranging the talks. This meeting may have a significant impact on the future course of the Russia-Ukraine war and may also affect the political fate of Ukrainian President Zelenskyy. In addition, Russia's communications with China before the meeting also demonstrate the stability and closeness of Russia-China relations.
