Trump and Putin meet in Alaska: why the red carpet caused a stir.

The meeting between US President Donald Trump and Russian dictator Vladimir Putin will take place at Elmendorf-Richardson, Alaska. Before this meeting, the US armed forces laid out a red carpet on the airfield, which runs alongside the F-22 Raptor planes designated for this event.

According to CNN, this is Putin's first visit to the US since the start of the invasion of Ukraine. The red carpet at the airfield, next to American F-22 fighters, can be seen as a symbolic gesture indicating an official reception that differs from the isolation of the Russian leader in recent years.

Warnings about Ukraine's participation

The meeting between Trump and Putin has become one of the most high-profile events in global politics this year. However, in the US and EU countries, there are warnings that negotiations without Ukraine's participation could lead to decisions that threaten Ukraine's interests and sovereignty.
