ISW reports that Russian occupiers are attempting to portray the upcoming U.S.–Russia summit in Alaska as an event on par with the Yalta Conference of 1945, positioning Putin’s status as equal to Trump’s.

Russian officials and media have launched an information campaign promoting the idea that "the U.S. and Russia should speak to each other as equal friends who influence global processes," and who allegedly have the power to "prevent a Third World War."

The so-called head of the occupation administration of Crimea, Sergey Aksyonov, has invited Trump to the annexed peninsula to negotiate a "new Yalta peace."
