Would you stop killing civilians? Putin ignores journalists' questions next to Trump

The eyes of the world are turned towards Alaska, where leaders of two major powers are sitting today facing each other to reach a war agreement in Ukraine.

The red carpet was laid among military aircraft. The first to land in Alaska was American President Donald Trump, about 30 minutes later the Russian president, Vladimir Putin, arrived.

The two leaders began their bilateral meeting moments later. Meanwhile, foreign media have published the first pictures from the hall, where the press conference will be held after the meeting. In a background scripture, the message “is clearly shown in search of peace”.

Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, and foreign policy adviser Yuri Usshakov are with Putin at the three-way meeting with Trump, said Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov. Lavrov and Usshakov are long and centrally experienced diplomats in shaping Russia's foreign policy.

As Trump and Putin pause for a few moments for a photo, standing on a platform, journalists seize the opportunity to shout questions from the two leaders.

“President Putin, will you accept a truce?” ) asks a journalist. Another asks what Trump's message is about Putin. Both leave shortly after the last question by a journalist who asked Putin “if it would prevent the killing of civilians”. Putin signaled that he was not listening to the question while both of them traveled to the same car.
