Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov was seen on Thursday (August 14) evening in Anchorage, Alaska ahead of the expected meeting between U.S. President Donal Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Lavrov is one of the members of the Russian delegation taking part in the upcoming meeting.

Trump and Putin will meet in Alaska on Friday (August 15), with the U.S. president's hopes of sealing a ceasefire agreement on Ukraine uncertain but with a last gasp offer from Putin of a possible nuclear deal that could help both men save face.

The meeting of the Russian and U.S. leaders at a Cold War-era air force base in Alaska, their first face-to-face talks since Trump returned to the White House, comes amid Ukrainian and European fears that Trump might sell Kyiv out.
