Hundreds of thousands witnessed Putin's aircraft's journey to Alaska's skies
In a significant diplomatic event, Russian President Vladimir Putin and US President Donald Trump met in Anchorage, Alaska, marking Putin's first visit to the US since 2015. The meeting, which focused on the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, was seen as unusually cordial given the adversarial relationship between the two nations [1][2].
The TU-214PU aircraft, a Russian government communications plane often used for presidential or high-level official transport, carried Putin to the meeting. The aircraft took off from Magadan, Russia, nearly an hour later than scheduled [3]. As of 20:15 Minsk time, over 162,000 users were tracking the plane's movement via the FlightRadar service [4].
However, none of the available search results contain specific information on flight tracking incidents involving Putin’s TU-214PU aircraft in relation to meetings with Donald Trump or any other context. The estimated time of landing has not been updated since 09:44 (20:44 Minsk time) [5].
Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump have met in person at least seven times, with six meetings during Trump's first term and one during his second term as of August 2025. Their most recent meeting was on August 15, 2025, at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson in Anchorage, Alaska [1][2].
