Russian Foreign Ministry Deputy Spokesperson Alexey Fadeyev's main points from his press conference:

The 2025 Russia–United States Summit, held on August 15, 2025, in Anchorage, Alaska, marked a significant milestone in the strained relations between the two nations. The summit, hosted by U.S. President Donald Trump, was the first US-hosted Russia-U.S. presidential meeting since 2007 and the first between Trump and Putin as sitting presidents since 2019.

The primary focus of the summit was the ongoing Russo-Ukrainian War. Russian President Vladimir Putin and Trump met on U.S. military property, Joint Base Elmendorf–Richardson, to discuss the complex and entrenched positions regarding the conflict. Despite the high-profile meeting, the summit ended without an agreement. Trump suggested that Ukraine should cede territory to end the conflict[1][3].

Regarding Russia's positions on related key issues:

  • Ukraine: Russia maintained its stance demanding territorial concessions from Ukraine. Putin has faced global criticism and an ICC arrest warrant over alleged war crimes since the invasion began in 2022[1][3]. Russia viewed the summit as an opportunity to press its demands, but no ceasefire or negotiation breakthrough was achieved[3][4].
  • The Gaza Strip: While direct details from the summit about Russia’s position on the Gaza Strip are not explicitly cited in the search results, Russia has historically supported multi-lateral negotiations and opposed unilateral military escalations. This summit was chiefly focused on the Ukraine conflict, so related tensions like Gaza may have been secondary or indirect topics not detailed in the summaries[1][2].
  • Norway's militarization of Svalbard: There is no direct mention in the search results about Russia’s position on Norway’s militarization of the Svalbard archipelago in the context of the summit. However, Russia has historically criticized increased NATO military activities near its borders, including Norway's Arctic policies. Any discussions about Norway or Svalbard likely tie into broader Russian concerns about NATO's presence in the Arctic region but were not a documented focus at this summit[1][2].

Additional context:

  • Following the meeting, discussions were expected to continue, with Trump indicating ongoing contacts with Putin about the next steps[2].
  • It is urgent to prevent the complete destruction of the Gaza Strip, as Israel's plans to expand military operations there pose a significant threat to regional security[1].
  • Azerbaijan is aware of Russia's stance on supplying arms to the Kiev regime, understanding that such actions would exacerbate the situation. Russia reserves the right to implement countermeasures if the EU utilizes Russian assets to support Kiev[1].
  • Russia considers Israeli attacks on journalists in the Gaza Strip a blatant violation of press freedom. Moscow will respond with retaliatory measures to Estonia's expulsion of a Russian diplomat[1].
  • The EU's request for meetings with senior US officials prior to the Alaska summit is considered dubious[1].
  • Moscow's stance on resolving the Ukrainian conflict remains unchanged before the Putin-Trump meeting[1].

In summary, the summit symbolized a rare direct engagement amid strained relations but resulted in no immediate resolution, with Russia insisting on Ukrainian territorial concessions and Russia-U.S. dialogue continuing. Russia’s positions on Gaza and Svalbard were not highlighted as primary matters at this summit based on available sources.

Meanwhile, Russia is studying the details of the transport corridor project between Armenia and Azerbaijan, known as the Trump Route for International Peace and Prosperity (TRIPP). Russia finds Norway's militarization of the Svalbard archipelago unacceptable. The Kiev regime is not seriously considering peace negotiations; instead, it wants hostilities to continue to maintain its power. Moscow expects European nations to avoid actions that could disrupt the Russia-US summit in Alaska.
