Trump-Putin Meeting LIVE Updates: US President Set To Greet Russian Counterpart Putin's Plane At Alaska

Dmitry Peskov, Putin's press secretary, told Russian state media that the upcoming summit could take "at least six to seven hours", according to a report by NBC News.

The summit includes a bilateral meeting between Trump and Putin, a meeting with both nations' delegations, and a press conference, the report added.

The seven days before the summit involved a series of diplomatic and public actions.

• On Aug. 6, US special envoy Steve Witkoff met with Vladimir Putin for about three hours, with President Donald Trump saying "great" progress was made.

• Moscow announced on Aug. 7 that a meeting between Putin and Trump would take place in the coming days.

• The following day, Trump confirmed the Aug. 15 meeting on social media, the same day as the deadline he had set for Russia to stop the war or face new sanctions. It remains unclear whether the sanctions may be delayed or cancelled.

• On Aug. 11, Trump said both Ukraine and Russia would have to give up land to end the war, telling reporters the summit would be a "feel-out meeting" to see if Putin would make a deal. Moscow stated that its demands for a full Ukrainian withdrawal from regions it controls still stand.
