It would be the first summit between America and Russia in four years, and Vladimir Putin’s most ostentatious turn on the international stage since his calamitous decision to invade

I will believe this when I see it. I might also have a spare hat to eat. This is a guy who locked out the US press from the oval office to meet the Russians, and who purchased his hotel TV's from a KGB front electronics shop... he has always played for team Russia.

Let's wait until we have any clarity on what exactly Putin has/will definitely offered. (also from WSJ).

With respect, what's unambiguously clear is that Putin has crossed his red lines and is seriously negotiating.

Let's take a step back, the red lines for the 'west' - or what remains of it were supposed to be the Budapest memorandum that supports the territorial lines of Ukraine as a trade for their nuclear weapons.

What Putin is currently negotiating is how much the worth of the US signature was. The answer is currenly around 20% of Ukraine territory and some of its most strategic territory. Hardly a security guarantee.

The US has cocked up their Ukraine strategy royally. Russia has already more or less got what it wanted as a secondary objective without any negotiation 1) Crimea, 2) Land Bridge protecting Crimea and providing dual layered supply lines.

The acceptance of the idea of an 'Alaska' conference should have been immediately rebuffed with the suggestion of holding it in Budapest if there were any staff with any balls left in the US state department or administration.

Instead the vainest and least competent US president ever, who has at every stage of his life worked closely with Russia, has pulled the US into an alliance that is fake, insubstantial and ends up mis-positioning itself for the geopolitical struggle with the PRC.
