A large rally in support of Ukraine is taking place in Anchorage, Alaska.
As Censor.NET reports , this was reported to X by former Voice of America correspondent Ostap Yarysh.
In particular, he released a video of the protesters’ activities.
“Ukraine and Alaska – never again Russia,” the participants of the action chant.
The rally participants also unfurled a large yellow-and-blue flag.
According to the BBC , several hundred people attended the rally.
Three days before the summit, the head of the Stand UP Alaska public organization, Erin Jackson-Hill, told Ukrinform that she and her associates would hold a rally under the slogan “Alaska Supports Ukraine” in downtown Anchorage on August 14, and the next day, during the summit, a rally by another organization would be held there.
“We are against inviting authoritarian dictators to our state, especially when it is not our governor or our representatives in Congress. He [Putin] is a war criminal and has no place on American soil,” Jackson-Hill said.

Adrian Blomfield in the DT today :
“Diplomats say Mr Trump is often swayed by the last person he speaks to – a risk magnified when that person is Putin.
In 2018, Mr Trump emerged from a two-hour meeting with Putin in Helsinki openly dazzled, accepting the Russian’s denial of election interference over the findings of his own intelligence agencies and embracing his proposal for a joint US-Russia cyber task force. John McCain, the late Republican senator, called it “one of the most disgraceful performances by an American president in memory”.
This time, the stakes are far higher – and the US has even fewer Russia hands in place. Many senior specialists at the State Department and National Security Council have been purged in the Trump administration’s drive to gut the federal workforce. The US lacks a serving ambassador in Moscow and Kyiv.”
“Putin is likely to flatter and cajole. He may revive his claim that Ukraine has provoked its own invasion – an argument Mr Trump has shown sympathy for – or even invoke Alaska’s 1867 purchase from Russia as proof of border fluidity. He could also win Mr Trump’s favour by backing his territorial claims IN Greenland.
If he succeeds, the summit could end with Mr Trump echoing Kremlin talking points and endorsing a carve-up of Ukraine – driving a wedge into the Western alliance.
Mr Zelensky would then face an invidious choice: accept an unfavourable deal or reject it and be cast by Washington as the aggressor, risking the loss of vital US support.”
Dr. Fiona Hill, Senior Director for European and Russian Affairs on President Trump’s National Security Council staff, said she considered faking a seizure when Trump sided with Putin over his own intelligence in their Helsinki news conference.
“I wanted it to stop,” she said. “What a profound humiliation for the United States.”
