In a historic moment that could well shape the future between Moscow and Kyiv, Russian President Vladimir Putin walked down the red carpet laid out for his welcome in Alaska, as US President Donald Trump welcomed him with a handshake ahead of the all-important talks on ending the war in Ukraine.

Trump deboarded Air Force One and waited for Putin, who walked towards the US President after getting off his plane.

The two leaders shook hands and walked towards the stage with “Alaska 2025" written on it.

A B2 bomber flew over the two world leaders. They ignored the questions shouted by the reporters. When a reporter asked Putin if he would stop killing civilians, Putin smirked and pointed to his ear.

Both leaders left in President Trump’s ‘Beast’. It is unusual to see the leaders of two superpowers — in this case adversaries — ride in the same limousine.
