Planned anti-Putin demonstration in Alaska set prior to Trump-Putin gathering
Anti-Putin Protest Holds Strong in Alaska Ahead of US-Russia Summit
An anti-Putin protest took place in Alaska on August 14, gathering hundreds of demonstrators near Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson in Anchorage, where the US-Russia leaders' summit was scheduled to take place on August 15 [3].
The protest was organized by the non-governmental organization Stand Up Alaska. Participants included local Alaskans and visitors such as Ken and Jason Remsen, a father and son from New Jersey, who expressed critical views of Putin's visit [2]. The protesters represented diverse backgrounds, united by opposition to Russian actions.
The specific concerns of the protesters centered on Russia’s ongoing war in Ukraine, which had been active for over three years by August 2025. They opposed the invasion and sought a meaningful ceasefire or end to the conflict, which was a focus of the meeting but was not achieved [1][3]. The event attracted attention as a rare instance of a Russian president visiting Alaska, highlighting geopolitical tensions and local reactions [2].
The organizers of the protest stated that Vladimir Putin is an international war criminal and that Alaska stands firmly against authoritarianism. Their message to Donald Trump and Putin was clear: Alaska will not tolerate Putin's presence in their state [1].
