The political scientist called Alaska a suitable place for negotiations between Russia and the United States.

Alaska is not a neutral territory, it is a homely environment for both Russia and the United States. This was stated on August 9 by political analyst Igor Semenovsky to Izvestia.

According to the political scientist, the talks will focus on the settlement of the conflict in Ukraine, the restoration of diplomatic relations, the economy and the development of cooperation between the countries.

Semenovsky clarified that "it's time to end this conflict" and that it began because of the aggressive policies of Western countries. The political scientist suggested that the parties would put pressure on Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelensky, and according to US President Donald Trump, "he has no cards in his hands" to resist.

Semenovsky also noted that 15% of Alaska residents are still Orthodox.
