Alaska Deal or No Deal? US, Russia Clash Over Secret Trump-Putin Talks

Russia has rejected Rubio’s claim that no agreement was reached during the 2025 Alaska summit between Trump and Putin.

Moscow hockey match shows limits of Trump-Putin thaw

Russia's attempt to thaw business relations with the US began with talk of a professional hockey match between the two countries. What has emerged so far is a more modest business-linked event at a Moscow rink. The first US-Russia ice hockey match since Vladimir Putin ordered the invasion of Ukraine in 2022 brought Stanley Cup champions and Olympic gold medallists to the Russian capital this week. But Russia's 10-6 victory on Wednesday fell well short of the top-level spectacle Putin first floated to Donald Trump last year.

The Significance of the Recently Released Russia Hoax Documents

The Russia collusion hoax was anchored to two central claims: first, that Trump was a compromised agent of Russia, and second, that Russia interfered in the 2016 election to help Trump. The first claim was completely debunked after years of investigation. It is on the second and far more plausible claim—which was just as key to the hoax—that the newly released documents shed new light. And the revelations are shocking. The post The Significance of the Recently Released Russia Hoax Documents appeared first on Imprimis.

Trump, Putin, hold phone call on Ukraine, bilateral ties

Russian President Vladimir Putin held a telephone conversation with U.S. President Donald Trump on Saturday, according to Russian presidential aide Yuri Ushakov, reported Xinhua. The United States is commemorating the 250th anniversary of the nation's founding on Saturday, its Independence Day. Ushakov confirmed that Putin congratulated Trump on the holiday. This conversation, the fourth such exchange this year, was naturally not merely a routine protocol exchange but business-focused and highly constructive. It allowed for a frank discussion of pressing issues on the bilateral and international agenda, the presidential aide noted. During the dialogue, Putin laid out the real battlefield situation, where Russian troops are advancing along the full line of contact. Ushakov stressed that European nations hold a flawed perception of the overall dynamics and ground realities along the contact line amid the Ukraine conflict. On bilateral ties, the two presidents underscored the importance of sustaining consistent communication, including on military-political and economic fronts. There exist vast prospects for mutually beneficial cooperation between our two nations in these spheres. Trump stressed that an early resolution to the Ukraine conflict would serve as a prerequisite to unlocking such cooperation, Ushakov said.
