ANCHORAGE, Aug 16, 2025 (BSS/AFP) - US President Donald Trump and his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin departed a military base in Alaska on Friday following their summit on the conflict in Ukraine.

The two leaders' planes took off from Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson within minutes of one another after they held around three hours of talks on the war, which has raged for more than three years since Moscow launched its all-out invasion of its neighbor in early 2022.
