    Trump Warns Of Make-Or-Break Chance With Putin As Pressure Mounts

    By EditorAugust 15, 2025
    Trump And Putin

    PRESSURE mounted ahead of a landmark summit in Alaska between the United States and Russia, as Donald Trump warned that Vladimir Putin had only one chance but Moscow pressed ahead with major battlefield gains in Ukraine.

    His Royal Highness

    Putin and Trump will meet Friday at an air base in the far-northern US state, the first time the Russian leader has been permitted on Western soil since his February 2022 invasion of Ukraine which has killed tens of thousands of people.

    With such high stakes, all sides were pushing hard in the hours before the meeting.

    UBA

    Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, who has refused to surrender territory to Russia, spoke by telephone Wednesday with Trump, as did European leaders who voiced confidence afterward that the US leader would seek a ceasefire rather than concessions by Kyiv.

    Trump himself sent mixed messages, saying that he could quickly organize a three-way summit afterward with both Zelensky and Putin but also warning of his impatience with Putin.

    Independence Day

    “There may be no second meeting because, if I feel that it’s not appropriate to have it because I didn’t get the answers that we have to have, then we are not going to have a second meeting,” Trump told reporters.

    Happy Birthday

    Russia, Trump said, would face “severe consequences” if it does not halt its offensive.

    But Trump said: “If the first one goes okay, we’ll have a quick second one,” involving both Putin and Zelensky.

    Putin pitched the meeting after Trump threatened sanctions on Russia. Trump has already ramped up tariffs on India, which has become a key buyer of Russian energy.

    Zelensky, after being berated by Trump at a February meeting in the White House, has publicly supported US diplomacy but made clear his deep skepticism.

    “I have told my colleagues, the US president and our European friends — that Putin definitely does not want peace,” Zelensky said.

    German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, who welcomed Zelensky in Berlin, said Ukraine is ready to negotiate “on territorial issues” but stressed that legal recognition of Russian occupations “would not be up for debate.”

    NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte declared: “The ball is now in Putin’s court.”

    Trump will meet Putin on Friday at Elmendorf Air Force Base, a major US military hub in Alaska’s most populous city of Anchorage that played a key role in monitoring the Soviet Union during the Cold War.

    Rano Capital

    Off the base, on the rainy streets of Anchorage, there were few signs that the world’s eyes would soon be on the city, other than an influx of media who have booked up virtually all rooms.
