Russia-US negotiations in Alaska likely to last 6-7 hrs: Kremlin
Moscow, Aug 15 (UNI) The high-level negotiations between Russian President Vladimir Putin and his US counterpart Donald Trump in Alaska could take at least six to seven hours, said Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov today. "In general, one can imagine that, of course, at least six to seven hours will be spent on this," Peskov told the Channel One broadcaster, as per state media TASS. The two leaders will have a one-on-one conversation, which will be held with the participation of aides, followed by the delegations from both sides joining the talks, Peskov said, commenting on the summit. The Russian side expects the meeting to end productively, Peskov added. Trump expressed similar sentiments over the talks, calling Putin 'a smart guy.' Russia had earlier praised Trump for his 'sincere' efforts in ending the war with Ukraine, with Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov earlier stating that much was done during the visits of US Special Envoy Steve Witkoff to Moscow. While the summit will primarily revolve around the war between the two countries, it will also take on an economic form, with Russia's presidential envoy for economic cooperation, Kirill Dmitriev also being part of the delegation. Also the head of the Russian Direct Investment Fund, the official had told RIA Novosti that the talks will also be focused on the normalisation of ties between both countries, including on the issue of sanctions and restoring communication between Moscow and Washington.
