A year after Alaska summit, Trump-Putin peace push gives way to war escalation
A summit between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin aimed at ending the Ukraine conflict has failed. Diplomatic initiatives have stalled, and both sides are now escalating attacks.

The "spirit of Anchorage" has dissipated, leading to a brutal escalation of the conflict.
