Several hundred people gathered for a pro-Ukraine rally in Anchorage, Alaska, where U.S. President Donald Trump and Russian leader Vladimir Putin are set to meet Friday.
The high-stakes summit — the first in-person meeting between an American president and Putin since the latter launched his full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, is meant to lay the ground for a ceasefire. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy was not invited to the summit, scheduled to kick off around 11 a.m. local time at the Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson.
Protesters started to gather early on Friday morning ahead of Putin’s arrival in Anchorage, chanting pro-Kyiv slogans and demanded that Russia return the 20,000 Ukrainian children it has kidnapped from the war zone. The protesters also took umbrage at Trump inviting Putin to a meeting on American soil in Alaska, which used to be Russian territory until it was sold to the United States in 1867.
Well, by far the easiest way to draw Pz Zelensky out by making him fly the length of Russia and land in a tactically terrible location with lots of Russian soldiers around. His 737 will be shot down the moment he gets close to Russian airspace.
Switzerland is a better idea.
People need to stop thinking that foreign diplomats will be killed. It is not smart, easy or profitable to do so.
