Russian reporters whine about conditions at Trump-Putin summit — but Moscow may be to blame
Russian reporters are whining about having to sleep on cots and being served old tuna for breakfast while covering the Trump-Putin summit in Alaska — but their own country may actually be to blame. The Kremlin journalists griped that they've had to rough it on portable beds with no sheets set up at the Alaska Airlines Center sports arena in Anchorage, where they were hardly able to make phone calls. They — gasp — even had to get by without bottled water. Advertisement 4 Russian journalists from the Kremlin press pool, arriving in Alaska, were housed in a stadium converted into a temporary accommodation center, with single bunks separated by curtains. x/DD_Geopolitics 'After being assigned for [Thursday] night to what appeared to be a disaster evacuation zone, Russian journalists were being treated to breakfast of tuna mayo left out overnight, some chips, and an unlimited supply of water (from a drinking fountain),'' wrote an irked Margarita Simonyan, editor in chief of the Russian state-run outlet RT. But critics said Russia is at least partly to blame for what its scribes consider practically Third World conditions. Advertisement 4 Workers set up a sign in front of Air Force One for the arrival of U.S. President Donald Trump at Joint Base Elmendorf Richardson on August 15, 2025 in Anchorage, Alaska. Getty Images The country flew roughly 50 of its own 'reporters' over to supposedly cover the event, and it's lucky so many of them got into the US at all, considering the nation's intelligence services regularly send spies to work as 'journalists,'' a security source told The Post. There wasn't much time to vet them or get enough accommodations for quickly planned summit, the source noted. Many US reporters didn't get hotel rooms in the small capital city of roughly 290,000, either.

'Americans finally provide journalists with proper food,' declared the X account Alaska Summit News First. But in some corners, the Russian journos are in no position to complain about the US.

Diana Nerozzi / NYPost 'Sanctions mean roaming doesn't really work, so they are stuck on WiFi, and Russia blocked most calls on WhatsApp and telegram the other day,'' wrote Financial Times' Moscow Bureau Chief Max Seddon on X.
