20250814 MOSCOW, August 14. /TASS/.
20250814 The denazification of Ukraine is still a pressing topic, Ukraine’s former Prime Minister (2010-2014) Nikolay Azarov told TASS.
20250814 According to Azarov, no one has ever done anything on this track in Ukraine.
20250814 "It is carried out by way of an accomplished fact on the battlefield.
20250814 The Azov battalion (outlawed in Russia as a terrorist association) was eliminated - that’s about all that has been done on the denazification track.
20250814 Of course, this is a pressing topic," he said.
20250814 Moscow has repeatedly stressed that it will end its special military operation in Ukraine when all of its goals are attained.
20250814 According to Russian presidential press secretary Dmitry Peskov, these goals can be achieved either as an outcome of the special military operation or a result of relevant talks.
20250814 At a high-level meeting with Russian foreign ministry officials in mid-June 2024, Russian President Vladimir Putin outlined Moscow's preconditions for resolving the conflict.
20250814 These included Ukraine withdrawing its forces from Donbass and Novorossia, abandoning aspirations to join NATO, and committing to a non-bloc, non-nuclear status.

20250814 ANCHORAGE /Alaska/, August 14. /TASS/.
20250814 Presidents Vladimir Putin of Russia and Donald Trump of the United States will meet in Anchorage, Alaska, on August 15.
20250814 This will be the first offline meeting between the two countries’ leaders since June 2021, when Putin met with US President Joe Biden in Geneva.
20250814 Putin will be the first-ever Russian leader to visit Alaska, which was sold to the United States in 1867 for $7.2 million.
20250814 This summit will also be Putin’s first meeting with Trump after the latter returned to the White House in January 2025.
20250814 During Trump’s first presidential term, they met in person six times, with the last one being on June 28, 2019 on the sidelines of the Group of Twenty summit in Japan’s Osaka.
20250814 Putin’s last trip to the United States took place in 2015 when he attended UN events in New York.
20250814 According to the US media, the summit will be held at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, a combined US Air Force and Army installation in Anchorage, Alaska.
20250814 The sides are expected to discuss options for a lasting settlement of the Ukrainian crisis, as well as issues of bilateral relations.
20250814 The sides agreed to organize a meeting between the leaders after US presidential envoy Steve Witkoff’s visit to Moscow on August 6, when he was received by the Russian president.
20250814 On August 8, the deadline for a Ukraine peace deal set by the US leader, Trump said that he hoped to meet with Putin in Alaska in a week.
20250814 The date and venue were later confirmed by Russian presidential aide Yury Ushakov, who said that the Russian and US presidents will focus on discussing options for reaching a lasting settlement of the Ukrainian crisis.
20250814 The Kremlin, in his words, expects that the two leaders will meet in Russia’s territory after their talks in Alaska.
20250814 On August 11, White House Spokesperson Karoline Leavitt confirmed that Washington did not rule out Trump’s potential visit to Russia some time in the future.
20250814 The sides’ positions
20250814 Ahead of the summit, Trump said that he hopes for a constructive meeting with his Russian counterpart and announced his intention to try to persuade Putin to end the conflict in Ukraine.
20250814 However, he said that the upcoming summit cannot be called the last chance to reach an agreement on Ukraine.
20250814 In his words, Russia and Ukraine may sign agreements within months, including on land swaps.
20250814 According to the White House spokesperson, Trump wants to better understand Russia’s position on the Ukrainian settlement.
20250814 Meanwhile, the US leader has warned that if he sees no progress on Ukraine at the summit, he will abandon his diplomatic efforts.
20250814 Washington’s further steps in respect to Moscow, according to Trump, will depend on Putin.
20250814 On August 13, he warned that if no agreement on a peaceful settlement in Ukraine are reached in Alaska, Russia will face serious consequences.
20250814 He did not say however which ones.
20250814 The US administration did not rule out that 100% tariffs could be levied on Moscow and its trade partners.
20250814 At the same time, Leavitt noted that Trump is interested in discussing normalization between Russia and the US.
20250814 At a high-level meeting with Russian foreign ministry officials in mid-June 2024, Russian President Vladimir Putin outlined Moscow's preconditions for resolving the conflict.
20250814 These included Ukraine withdrawing its forces from Donbass and Novorossia, abandoning aspirations to join NATO, and committing to a non-bloc, non-nuclear status.
20250814 Moscow also demanded the removal of all Western-imposed sanctions.
20250814 Without Ukraine
20250814 Vladimir Zelensky was not invited to the Alaska talks.
20250814 Trump admitted that he did not even looked at such an option.
20250814 He expressed concern over Zelensky’s statements regarding territorial issues.
20250814 However, the US leader said on August 13 that in case the summit in Alaska is successful, he will be hoping for a trilateral meeting involving Russia and Ukraine.
20250814 According to the CBS television channel, US administration officials are choosing a potential venue for such a meeting, which can allegedly be held already next week.
20250814 Symbolic place
20250814 The choice of the venue for the Russia-US summit has a great significance, including symbolically.
20250814 As Russian presidential aide Yury Ushakov noted, Russia and the United States are close neighbors and the choice of Alaska is quite logical.
20250814 The Russian delegation will only have to fly across the 86-kilometer wide Bering Strait to reach Alaska.
20250814 Alaska was discovered by Russian explorers Mikhail Gvozdev and Ivan Fyodorov in 1732.
20250814 The first settlement of Russian America, Three Saints Bay, was founded in 1784 by an expedition of merchant Grigory Shelikhov from Irkutsk.
20250814 In 1799-1867, Alaska was governed by the Russian-American Company.
20250814 The administrative center of Russian holdings in North America totaling around 1.5 million square kilometers in area was located in Novoarkhangelsk (now Sitka).
20250814 Russian America’s borders were fixed by the treaties with the United States (1824) and the British Empire (1825).
20250814 During World War II, land-lease aircraft were flown from the United States to the Soviet Union along the Alsib (Alaska-Siberia) air route, or the Northern Trace.
20250814 Soviet pilots were trained to pilot US-made aircraft in Alaska.
20250814 As many as 205 people died while piloting aircraft along the Alsib route during WWII.
20250814 Nine Soviet pilots were buried at the Fort Richardson National Cemetery at the above-mentioned base.
20250814 The Land-Lease Monument, a memorial honoring Soviet and American pilots, was erected in Fairbanks, Alaska, in 2006.

20250814 Fundort in Afrika: Fossilien weisen auf unbekannten Vorfahren des Menschen hin
202508141743 Wissenschaft •
20250814 Es sind 13 Zähne, die den Hinweis darauf gaben, dass Forschende eine neue Art des Vormenschen Australopithecus entdeckt hatten:
20250814 Möglicherweise hätten Australopithecus und die ältesten Homo sogar zur gleichen Zeit, vor 2,6 bis 2,8 Millionen Jahren, am gleichen Ort in Afrika gelebt.
20250814 Bereits im Jahr 2013 entdeckte ein Team dort den Kiefer des frühesten jemals gefundenen Homo-Exemplars, dessen Alter auf 2,8 Millionen Jahre angesetzt wurde.
20250814 Von den 13 Zähnen, die nun untersucht wurden, schließen die Forschenden, dass sie zu einer bisher unbekannten Art des Australopithecus gehören müssen.
20250814 Der Zeitraum zwischen etwa drei und zwei Millionen Jahren ist eine entscheidende Phase in der menschlichen Evolution
20250814 Der Zeitraum zwischen etwa drei und zwei Millionen Jahren ist eine entscheidende Phase in der menschlichen Evolution, schreiben die Forschenden.

20250814 The Russian Federal Security Service (FSB) has established that Germany provided financing for the production of long-range Sapsan missiles in Ukraine, which would have allowed strikes deep into Russian territory, an FSB employee said.
20250814 "It has been established that with Germany’s financial support and the assistance of foreign specialists the development and production of the Sapsan medium-range operational-tactical missile systems capable of striking deep into the territory of the Russian Federation has been carried out at defense enterprises in the Dnepropetrovsk and Sumy regions of Ukraine," he said.
20250814 Ukraine secretly developed its own missile program using technology and stockpiles left over from the Soviet Union, the Federal Security Service said, adding that thanks to the joint efforts by the Service and the Russian Armed Forces, plans to produce a Ukrainian missile were thwarted.

20250814 Preparations for the upcoming meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and US President Donald Trump occurred under tight deadlines, yet all necessary parameters were successfully met, according to Presidential Spokesman Dmitry Peskov.
20250814 He also cautioned against making forecasts about the summit’s outcome, emphasizing the unpredictability of the discussions.
20250814 TASS has compiled the key statements from the Kremlin official regarding the upcoming encounter.
20250814 Preparations
20250814 "Preparations for the Putin-Trump meeting took place within a very short timeframe, but all parameters were met".
20250814 Agenda
20250814 The leaders are expected to discuss the Ukrainian settlement: "The matter is very complex and multifaceted".
20250814 Currently, they are examining the Ukraine conflict between Russia and the US, and the Ukrainian side's perspective is considered relevant for subsequent stages of negotiations.
20250814 Possible results
20250814 Russia and the US do not intend to produce any formal document based solely on the summit's discussions: "However, given that there will be a joint news conference, the president will outline the range of agreements and understandings that can be achieved".
20250814 Peskov cautioned against attempting to predict the summit's outcome, calling such efforts "a big mistake": "Let's see how the conversation unfolds".
20250814 Witkoff's visit to Russia
20250814 US Presidential Special Envoy Steve Witkoff’s visit to Moscow and his discussions with President Vladimir Putin on August 6 were deemed productive: "We exchanged signals, which facilitated the organization of a high-level meeting".
20250814 Visas for Russian journalists
20250814 The Kremlin official attributed difficulties in obtaining US visas for Russian journalists to what he described as America’s "loss of the knack" for issuing them.
20250814 Peskov stated, "It was the Americans who, three and a half years ago, initiated the idea of curtailing all processes related to bilateral relations, including consular services".

20250814 MOSCOW/ANCHORAGE, August 15. /TASS/.
20250814 Russian President Vladimir Putin is heading to Alaska, the northernmost state of the United States, for talks with his American counterpart Donald Trump.
20250814 This will be their first meeting since Trump's return to the White House in January this year.
20250814 It will also be the first ever visit to Alaska by a Russian leader, including the times of the Russian Empire and the USSR.
20250814 Although Russian Presidential Aide Yury Ushakov said that Russia and the United States are close neighbors, and the Russian delegation just needs to fly over the Bering Strait, in fact, there is a long way to go.
20250814 Flight number one will cover about 7,000 km, cross 11 time zones and a conditional date line.
20250814 The Kremlin called the venue notable, in part, because near the Elmendorf-Richardson military base in Anchorage, where the summit will be held, nine Soviet pilots, two military personnel and two civilians who died in 1942-1945 during the transfer of planes from the United States to the Soviet Union under lend-lease, were buried.
20250814 According to Ushakov, the fact that the summit will be held next to such a historically important place, reminiscent of the fighting brotherhood of the peoples of the two countries, "is especially symbolic in the year of the 80th anniversary of the Victory over Nazi Germany and militaristic Japan".
20250814 This summit, which representatives of the world's media and analysts have already dubbed "historic," was prepared in an unprecedentedly short time.
20250814 Less than a week has passed since the date and place were announced, which also came as a surprise to the world community.
20250814 During this time, the parties had to settle visa formalities, choose a venue for the meeting of the leaders of the two powers, resolve all organizational and domestic issues, and ensure security.
20250814 The summit program
20250814 The program looks as follows - Putin and Trump will meet in the morning at 11:30 local time (22:30 Moscow time).
20250814 They will begin face-to-face communication in the presence of the translators only.
20250814 Then the negotiations will continue over a working breakfast.
20250814 At this point, the leaders will be joined by delegations.
20250814 It was decided that only a handful of people would be added - five on each side, given that "very important topics of a sensitive nature" would be discussed.
20250814 Besides Putin, Russia will be represented by Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, Ushakov, Defense Minister Andrey Belousov, Finance Minister Anton Siluanov and president's special representative for investment and economic cooperation with foreign countries Kirill Dmitriev.
20250814 A group of experts will always be on alert.
20250814 The upcoming summit does not have a strict time frame.
20250814 As Ushakov said, the time when the negotiations will end will depend on how the discussion goes.
20250814 Putin and Trump will brief media about the results of their talks at a joint press conference.
20250814 All rooms in Anchorage hotels are booked.
20250814 The host country even organized a kind of free-for-all for the Kremlin pool at one of the stadiums.
20250814 But, as a TASS correspondent reports, everyday difficulties do not bother any of the journalists, the main thing is information.
20250814 Ukraine and other topics
20250814 Russia has a working attitude".
20250814 The negotiations will be of a business nature.
20250814 And, of course, we all have a businesslike attitude, first of all," Ushakov replied, when asked about the mood of the Russian delegation.
20250814 He stressed that the central theme of the summit would be the settlement of the Ukrainian crisis.
20250814 "But, of course, broader tasks for ensuring peace and security, as well as urgent and most pressing international and regional issues, will also be touched upon," he said.
20250814 In particular, further development of bilateral cooperation, including trade and economic ties, will be discussed.
20250814 Their potential is little used.
20250814 On Thursday, the Russian president convened a meeting in the Kremlin "On preparations for the Russian-American summit".
20250814 It was attended by members of the government and the presidential administration, the head of the Central Bank, the Mayor of Moscow, the heads of the law enforcement agencies and special services.
20250814 In the open part of the event, Putin noted that he would brief the participants "about how the negotiation process on the Ukrainian crisis is going, how negotiations are going in a bilateral format with the Ukrainian delegation," as well as how relations are developing with the Trump administration, which is making "quite energetic and sincere efforts" to resolve the Ukrainian crisis.
20250814 According to the president, it is necessary to reach agreements that create long-term conditions for peace between Russia and Ukraine and throughout Europe".
20250814 And in the world as a whole, if we reach agreements to control strategic offensive arms by the next stages," the Russian president concluded.
