Putin’s envoy Dmitriev meets a bear in Alaska before US-Russia summit

Vladimir Putin’s envoy Kirill Dmitriev met a bear in Alaska ahead of upcoming crunch talks on ending the Russia-Ukraine war. Sharing footage of the interaction on social media on Friday (15 August), the economic adviser to the Russian president can be seen walking towards the mammal which is standing by a lake. "Met a bear in Alaska before the US-Russia Summit," Dmitriev wrote, alongside a teddy bear emoji. “Hopefully a good sign.” Putin also made a pit-stop ahead of the “high stakes” meeting in Anchorage with Donald Trump, with a trip to a fish factory in a far-eastern Russian town of Magadan.
