How the Trump-Putin summit in Alaska spawned the Kremlin’s myth of the ‘spirit of Anchorage’ — and why it collapsed

Putin’s meeting with Trump in August 2025 gave rise to a new term in the arsenal of Russian diplomacy and propaganda: the “spirit of Anchorage.” The claim was that during the Russian president’s visit to Alaska, Russia and the United States had reached certain agreements on peace in Ukraine — agreements that were directly shaping events on the front and in diplomacy. For a full year, Russian politicians and pro-Kremlin journalists insisted that following the “spirit of Anchorage” was the key to breaking the deadlock in peace talks. After Putin rejected Zelensky’s public peace proposal — and as a fuel crisis triggered by Ukrainian strikes intensified — it became definitively clear that the “spirit of Anchorage” had evaporated. Trump acknowledged as much, and within days so did Putin. Writing exclusively for Meduza, political scientist and researcher at the Latvian Institute of International Affairs Sergejs Potapkins explains how the “spirit of Anchorage” came into being — and why it lasted as long as it did.

Ukraine's drone campaign turning Russia's oil system into new frontline

The escalation of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine has taken a highly destructive turn along the frontlines and border zones, shifting the focus of tactical strikes heavily onto retail energy networks. In recent months, Russian forces have initiated a systematic campaign targeting civilian petrol stations within a 30 to 50-kilometer radius of the Ukrainian border. Utilizing a combination of kamikaze drones, heavy artillery, and precision guided missiles, these strikes have left hundreds of local distribution points in ruins across regions like Kharkiv, Sumy, and Chernihiv.
