Russian General Urges Patience Ahead of Putin-Trump Alaska Summit
Thursday, 14 August 2025 () A senior Russian defense official has urged citizens to remain patient ahead of the anticipated Putin-Trump summit in Alaska, while political analysts point to a potential breakthrough in Donetsk as a decisive factor for the talks. Lieutenant General Apti Alaudinov, Deputy Chief of the Main Military-Political Directorate of the Russian Ministry of Defense, addressed the nation via Telegram with a call for calm before the meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and US President Donald Trump. He stated that Russians would be grateful to Trump if he were to “end this conflict” while respecting all of Russia’s interests. However, he stressed that he harbors no illusions about the US president’s intentions and places his full trust in Putin. “Therefore, I ask everyone to be patient; there is absolutely no need to glance toward Trump. No — we should keep our eyes on our president. Everything else is nonsense,” urged Alaudinov.
