Reference News Network August 9 report. According to TASS, on August 9, Russian President's assistant Ushakov told reporters that Russian President Putin and US President Trump will hold a meeting in Alaska on August 15.
This Kremlin spokesperson said: "The US side has just announced that it has been agreed that on August 15, next Friday, the Russian President Putin will meet with the US President Trump in Alaska. Russia and the United States are neighboring countries that are adjacent to each other. Therefore, our delegation only needs to fly over the Bering Strait, and it is completely reasonable to hold such an important and highly anticipated summit between the two heads of state in Alaska."
Ushakov said that Putin and Trump will focus on discussing long-term solutions to the Ukraine conflict during the Alaska summit.
He also pointed out, "the economic interests of our two countries also intersect in Alaska and the Arctic region, and we can see the prospects for implementing large-scale mutually beneficial projects."
Ushakov said: "Of course, the two presidents will undoubtedly focus on discussing the plan to achieve a long-term peaceful resolution of the Ukraine crisis."
In addition, when commenting on the choice of Alaska as the venue for the Russia-US presidential meeting on August 15, Ushakov revealed that the Kremlin hopes that after the Alaska meeting, the next Russia-US presidential meeting will be held within Russia.
He said: "If looking ahead, naturally, we would like to arrange the next Russia-US presidential meeting to be held within Russia. An invitation has already been extended to the US President." (Translated by Li Ran)
