00:00President Donald Trump is set to meet Russian President Vladimir Putin today at Joint Base Ermendorf-Richardson in Anchorage, Alaska for high-stakes one-on-one talks aimed at exploring a potential ceasefire in the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war.
00:15The Trump White House has downplayed expectations, calling it a listening exercise, although the U.S. president has warned of very severe consequences if Putin does not agree to terms.
00:25Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is not attending the meeting, and European leaders, who strongly oppose any peace deal that omits Ukraine's input or includes territorial concessions, remain skeptical.
00:37The summit could impact global dynamics and oil markets, but analysts caution that a breakthrough is unlikely given geopolitical tensions and regulatory hurdles.
