Russian President Vladimir Putin has arrived at a military base in Alaska for a summit with his US counterpart Donald Trump on the conflict in Ukraine.
The meeting at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson will be the Kremlin leader’s first on Western soil since before February 2022, when Russia launched its devastating full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
