President Donald Trump is planning to meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin next Friday in Alaska to discuss a possible peace deal that could bring an end to the three-year-old Russian invasion of Ukraine.

Trump has appeared increasingly exasperated over Russia’s refusal to halt the bombardment of Ukrainian cities.

President Donald Trump framed his Friday summit with Vladimir Putin as a moment to feel out the Russian leader’s parameters for ending the war in Ukraine and acknowledged it would take further meetings to strike a final peace deal.
