Hello everyone,
Welcome to Episode 21 of my Eyes on Eurasia podcast with Glen Howard — a special edition on the recent Alaska Summit! This is a particularly timely issue. Superpower summits are back: last Friday, President Trump met in Anchorage, Alaska with Russian leader Vladimir Putin. Earlier this week, he hosted seven European leaders at the White House, including NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte, following his meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. Now, speculation is growing about a possible trilateral summit between Trump, Putin, and Zelensky. At the heart of the debate: the mysterious “NATO-style” security guarantee being discussed for Ukraine — despite the absence of a ceasefire — as Washington pursues the unusual strategy of seeking a peace agreement with Russia first, while simultaneously floating potential land swaps between Russia and Ukraine as part of those negotiations.
To help us make sense of these fast-moving developments in U.S.–Russia relations, I’m joined by Andrei Illarionov — former presidential adviser to Vladimir Putin on the Russian economy, former Kremlin insider, and now a Senior Fellow at the Center for Security Policy. A frequent commentator on Russian affairs, Andrei will share his impressions of the Alaska Summit, the recent meetings in Washington, and what we can expect in the weeks ahead.
Enjoy the show!
Glen
