Look again on Putin’s notable conferences with 5 US presidents

Vladimir Putin isn’t any stranger to superpower summits.

Over the a long time, as president or prime minister, he is held high-stakes conferences with 5 American presidents.

His encounter with Donald Trump on Friday in Alaska would be the first of Trump’s second time period and possibly probably the most vital since their controversial 2018 assembly in Helsinki, Finland.

This time, conflict and peace are urgently at stake as Trump has made it a precedence to finish the conflict in Ukraine. Trump’s Aug. 8 deadline for Putin to conform to a ceasefire with Ukraine or face extreme sanctions has come and gone with none peace deal.
