U.S. President Donald Trump and Russian leader Vladimir Putin will meet in Alaska to discuss the ongoing war in Ukraine.

American officials are rushing to finalize details ahead of Friday’s summit talks between Presidents Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin in Alaska, with both logistical and geopolitical issues still unsettled four days ahead of the momentous sit-down.

Thus far in August, the intensity of Russian strikes on Ukraine appear to have eased. The first 11 days of this month have seen Moscow launch a daily average of 74 drones and one missile into Ukraine, compared with record-breaking July figures of 201 drones and around six missiles per day.
