The United States has held internal discussions about using Russian nuclear icebreakers to support the development of gas and LNG production in Alaska.

It was clarified that the proposal was considered as one of the possible deals within the framework of the Russian Federation summit in Alaska.

Putin's flight landed at Anchorage Airport earlier in the day. An American colleague personally met him there. At the meeting, the heads of state shook hands and exchanged a couple of remarks, after which they proceeded to the meeting place in Trump's car. Later, the presidents began negotiations.

The central topic of the meeting of the heads of state will be the discussion of the conflict in Ukraine. Their meeting will be held in a three-on-three format with the participation of ministers.
