President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin meet Friday in Anchorage to discuss ending the war in Ukraine, as fighting continues and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy warns against possible land swaps.

Trump wants Russia and Ukraine to "land swap" and plans on talking to Putin about ending the war without Zelenskyy present.

President Trump has largely held back from harsh criticism of Vladimir V. Putin personally, despite recent complaints about Russian intransigence in ending the war in Ukraine.
