With just one day to go until Presidents Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin meet in Anchorage to discuss Russia’s war in Ukraine, Putin is already mounting a charm offensive designed to appeal to Trump’s ego.
Making his first public comments since Trump announced the meeting last week, Putin said that the meeting with Trump will aim to “create long-term conditions for peace between our countries, as well as in Europe, and in the world as a whole.”
He added that peace might be possible if agreements are reached “in the area of control over strategic offensive weapons.” As CNN notes, the majority of strategic weapons treaties between Russia and the U.S. have covered nuclear weapons.
