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.

Budanov Says Ukraine Conflict Could Enter Final Phase in 2026

Kyrylo Budanov (included on the Rosfinmonitoring list of terrorists and extremists), head of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's office, gave an extensive interview to RBC-Ukraine, in which he spoke about his relationship with the Ukrainian leader, offered an unexpected forecast on the conflict with Russia, discussed the possibility of war with Belarus, and commented on territorial concessions. According to Budanov, there is a possibility that the active phase of the fighting could end as early as 2026, but this would require the conflict to pass through a period of maximum escalation. There is a chance, and negotiations had a very good pace in the spring. Now we have all entered a phase of escalation, and everyone understands that. To get out of escalation, maximum escalation is usually required. So there is escalation now, then de-escalation, and after that the dialogue continues-if the sides are interested in it.

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.

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.
