Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin will hold a press conference after their vital meeting in Alaska on Friday, the Kremlin confirmed. Aide Yuri Ushakov said the two leaders would cover "sensitive" matters during the Anchorage summit, which will be a one-on-one meeting with translators. The main focus will be regulating the protracted conflict, as well as trade and economic cooperation, he added.
There will also be a wider meeting involving delegations from both countries, and a working breakfast. This comes as Volodymyr Zelensky sat down with Sir Keir Starmer at Downing Street today for their own meeting before Trump and Putin's. The pair hugged and shook hands outside No10 before heading inside for talks, which there have been little details on. They were also pictured sipping tea together in the garden.

White House denies it has agreed 'West Bank-style occupation' of Ukraine by Russia
Under the model, Ukraine’s borders would not change, just as the borders of the West Bank have gone unchanged for 58 years, only under Israeli control.
"It’ll just be like Israel occupies the West Bank," the source said before Trump’s summit with President Putin in Alaska on Friday.
"With a governor, with an economic situation that goes into Russia, not Ukraine. But it’ll still be Ukraine, because … Ukraine will never give up its sovereignty. But the reality is it’ll be occupied territory and the model is Palestine."
Anna Kelly, the deputy White House press secretary, said: "This is total fake news and sloppy reporting by The Times, who clearly has terrible sources. Nothing of the sort was discussed with anyone at any point."

Starmer gives Zelensky 'very warm greeting'
Volodymyr Zelensky received a "very warm greeting" upon his arrival at Downing Street, Sky News political correspondent Mhari Aurora said.
She said: "We know the two leaders have a good relationship and we know Zelensky is incredibly grateful when it comes to the UK's support for Ukraine.
"It was a warm embrace but nonetheless they had very serious and stoic expressions on their faces because they understand just how high the stakes are in the next 48 hours.
"Clearly, Ukraine as we know it is at cross roads perhaps depending on how serious we can take tomorrow's summit. Zelensky knows that, and Starmer knows that too."

WhatsApp said: "WhatsApp is private, end-to-end encrypted, and defies government attempts to violate people's right to secure communication, which is why Russia is trying to block it from over 100 million Russian people.

Lewis said: “We can see all of the activity at the test site, which is both huge amounts of supplies coming in to support operations and movement at the place where they actually launch the missile.”
