00:00Pro-Ukraine protesters unfurled a giant Ukrainian flag in Anchorage, Alaska on Friday,
00:09as Trump and Putin met face-to-face in Alaska on Friday, in a high-stakes summit that could
00:14determine whether a ceasefire can be reached in the deadliest war in Europe since World War II.
00:20Ahead of the talks, Trump greeted the Russian leader on a red carpet on the tarmac at a U.S.
00:25Air Force Base. The two shook hands warmly and touched each other on the arm before riding in
00:31Trump's limo to the summit site nearby. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, who was not invited
00:37to the talks, and his European allies fear Trump might sell out Ukraine by essentially freezing
00:44the conflict with Russia. Trump hopes a truce in the three-and-a-half-year-old war that Putin started
00:49will bring peace to the region. For Putin, the summit is already a big win that he can
00:55portray as evidence that years of Western attempts to isolate Russia have unraveled, and that
01:01Moscow is retaking its rightful place at the top table of international diplomacy.
