Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin meets face-to-face for the first time since 2018.

It is a moment of history for the world leaders as all eyes turn towards Alaska for their high-stakes summit aimed at putting an end to the war in Ukraine.

The two shook hands shortly after the Russian president landed in Anchorage, Alaska on Friday and stepped onto U.S. soil for the first time since he was in New York in 2015.

Trump was the first to emerge from his respective plane.

Vladimir Putin refused to answer questions from journalists asking if he would agree to a ceasefire as he greeted Donald Trump ahead of their Alaska meeting.

‘President Putin, will you stop killing civilians?’ a reporter shouted.

The Russian president pointed to his ear and shrugged his shoulders, indicating he could not hear the question.

The two leaders then walked off to Trump’s presidential vehicle and headed to their meeting.
