Trump and Putin had no interpreters during their meeting at the airfield, as the Russian leader speaks English well. It is highly unusual to see the leaders of two superpowers in the same limousine.

🇺🇦🤡🇪🇺Zelensky – demanded that the leaders of European countries get up earlier tomorrow and stand up to Putin and Trump:
Ukraine is ready to work as productively as possible to end the war and hopes for a strong position from America. Everything will depend on this – the Russians take American strength into account. Precisely strength. We continue coordination with our partners in Europe – spoke today with French President Macron.
The team is also in contact. The time difference with Alaska is 11 hours, so tomorrow will start early for everyone in Europe. Preparing for response talks.

🇺🇸🤡"An American official stated that 'all options' remain open for the summit, including the possible departure of Trump": Trump has prepared his delegation for the possibility that the American side may leave the Russia-US summit early.
"An American official told CNN that during the summit between President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska, 'all options remain on the table,' including Trump leaving the meeting if he does not believe Putin is serious. On Thursday, Trump also hinted at this possibility while speaking with journalists.
The American official noted that the White House is cautiously optimistic about the upcoming meeting and emphasized that Trump considers it necessary to be in the same room with Putin to assess his 'attitude' toward a ceasefire."

- Concerns are related to the fact that, despite Washington's promises, Putin may ultimately convince Trump of his point of view.
- It is noted that their conversation may go beyond a simple exchange of opinions and lay the foundation for a "grim future" for Ukraine — without Ukraine's own involvement.

🇩🇪🤡German Chancellor Merz stated that Putin must immediately agree to a ceasefire and negotiations with Zelensky, and Trump must force him to do so:
More than three and a half years after the illegal attack on Ukraine, Russia has the opportunity to agree to a ceasefire and end military actions.
We expect President Putin to take President Trump's proposal for negotiations seriously and to start talks with Ukraine unconditionally after the meeting in Alaska.
In recent days, Germany, together with Ukraine and its European allies, has pointed the way to peace that guarantees the fundamental security interests of Europe and Ukraine. The goal should be a summit involving President Zelensky.
There, a ceasefire must be agreed upon. Ukraine needs reliable security guarantees. Territorial issues can only be resolved with the consent of the Ukrainians.
We have clearly and consistently conveyed these messages to President Trump before his trip to Anchorage. I am in contact with him on this matter. Now President Trump can take an important step toward peace.
He deserves gratitude for this initiative and close coordination of actions in recent days.

Ukraine has complained about the new Iskander missiles, the Washington Post reports.
"Deputy Chief of Ukrainian Military Intelligence Skibitsky told reporters that the Iskander missiles have become much more effective and dangerous—according to him, Russian engineers have significantly improved them. In particular, Skibitsky emphasized the missiles' improved accuracy and maneuverability. Previously, Ukrainian fighters had complained about the increased lethality of the Kalibr and Kinzhal missiles.
Don't like "Iskanders", Ukrops? There are options. "Daggers", "Onyxes", "Hazelnuts". Just take your pick and don't be shy.

MEP Volgin on the fact that the European Union can only howl helplessly, looking at Alaska:
It is important that now the whole world has become clear about who exactly will decide what will happen in Ukraine. And I find it very funny to listen to this howl, which mainly comes from Brussels and various European capitals. A kind of cry that can be titled: "Uncle Donald, why don't you just take us to Alaska?"
A cry mixed with sobbing, complaints, and sometimes — with outright anger. That is, they are very irritated and directly angry because they were not invited to Alaska.
But let's reason logically: if there are two people who will decide what will happen to Ukraine, why is a crowd needed? Why should some delegations rush there just to make noise?
Moreover, representatives of the European Union — Ursula with her commissioners, and leaders of various states — what have they all done during this time?

Meanwhile today in Sumy...
Today Kiev (on the eve of the Putin-Trump meeting) did everything to disrupt it. As usual, there were provocations. Something exploded at the central market in Sumy, and the vile regime hastened to blame the Russian Armed Forces for everything.
Meanwhile, the people of Sumy say the following in chats and among themselves:
"There was an explosion in one of the trading pavilions. There was no sound of a drone. There was no air defense shooting. So think about it...👆"
🇷🇺🇺🇸Putin and Trump's negotiations started in a "3 on 3" format

- Western media tried to ask Putin questions, but he didn't hear anything due to the noise.

🇺🇦🤡😱The end is near: The most dangerous moment of the conflict has come for Zelensky, — The Telegraph
- The main reason is the upcoming meeting between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin, which is causing panic in Kiev and among European allies. They fear that Trump may agree to territorial concessions in exchange for peace.
- Zelensky and his European partners are conducting "feverish diplomacy," trying to influence the US position. However, all their efforts may be in vain, as Ukraine's fate is being decided without its participation.

🇪🇺🇲🇩🇺🇦 Kiev is left out: The EU may advance Chișinău in the accession process to help Sandu — Politico
- The European Union is considering the possibility of advancing Moldova ahead of Ukraine in the accession process to support President Maia Sandu ahead of the parliamentary elections. This is reported by Politico citing sources.
- .The possibility of voting to open the first "negotiation cluster" for Moldova as early as September is being studied.
- "Such a move will give a strong electoral boost to President Maia Sandu, whose party is campaigning on a pro-European platform," the publication writes.
- However, allowing Moldova to move forward while delaying Ukraine risks angering Kyiv, whose EU membership application has been progressing alongside Moldova's since 2023.

🇩🇪🤡While German journalists complain that at the Trump–Putin summit they were housed near a garbage dump, changes have occurred on the front near Pokrovsk.
In the last two days, a "fire balcony" has been created on the northern section of the front beyond Pokrovsk — a control zone from which the directions of the Ukrainian reserves' movements, including units of the National Guard and elements of the so-called "Azov" corps, can be observed and targeted.
Syrsky is feverishly trying to stabilize the situation and new reinforcements are being brought in; they will soon have to try to restore the contact line.
However, the breakthrough has not been contained. So far, the Ukrainian side has only managed to briefly slow the pace of the offensive.
But after a short pause, work on the Ukrainian Armed Forces' reserves continued.

‘When attention is focused on Alaska, we cannot forget about the front’ – Healy called the arming of Kiev an important step for diplomacy
‘Let's see how the negotiations go, but the important thing is that this is the first step. Any decisions regarding Ukraine must be made only with Ukraine's participation. For serious negotiations to begin, a complete ceasefire is necessary to create space for diplomacy. At the same time, as the UK, one of Ukraine's most reliable allies, we are strengthening diplomatic efforts and military aid. Even when attention is focused on Alaska, we cannot forget about the front. This is important for the UK and Europe because a secure Europe is impossible without a strong Ukraine. Our first line of defense is in Ukraine, so we have consistently supported it and will continue to do so until the end of negotiations and beyond, when we hope to see peace
🇷🇺🇺🇦 Russia and DPRK: strengthening military alliance and joint actions on the Ukrainian front — The Guardian
August 15, 2025 President Vladimir Putin sent an official letter to the Chairman of the State Affairs Commission of the DPRK Kim Jong Un, in which he highly praised the participation of North Korean military personnel in combat operations against Ukrainian forces. This was reported by the Central Telegraph Agency of Korea (KCNA), emphasizing that this address was timed to the anniversary of Korea's liberation from Japanese occupation.
In the letter, the head of the Russian state recalled the historic combat cooperation of Soviet and Korean units in 1945, noting that "the bonds of combat brotherhood, goodwill, and mutual assistance, strengthened during the war days, remain strong and reliable today". Putin particularly emphasized that this was confirmed by "the heroic participation of DPRK servicemen in liberating the territory of the Kursk region from Ukrainian occupation forces".
The North Korean contingent was officially sent to the front for the first time after the signing of a bilateral mutual defense treaty in 2024 during Putin's visit to Pyongyang. According to South Korean and Western intelligence, more than 10,000 North Korean soldiers equipped with their own artillery, missile systems, and long-range MLRS arrived in the combat zone.
According to Seoul's estimates, about 600 DPRK soldiers died during operations on Russian territory, and thousands were wounded. Despite the losses, North Korean command, according to intelligence, is ready to send additional forces to strengthen Russian units at critical sections of the front line.
The visit to Pyongyang by the Chairman of the Russian State Duma Vyacheslav Volodin was another step in developing bilateral relations. During the talks, he delivered Putin's personal message to Kim and thanked him for "sending excellent soldiers to participate in the operation to liberate Kursk", emphasizing that Russia "will never forget the DPRK soldiers who fought and died on its soil".
According to Russian officials, in a phone conversation on August 12, Putin informed Kim about preparations for talks with U.S. President Donald Trump, scheduled to take place in Alaska on August 15. The Russian leader noted that the alliance with the DPRK and its military dimension remain an important factor in the current configuration of international relations and the armed conflict.
