美国总统唐纳德·特朗普(Donald Trump)与俄罗斯总统弗拉基米尔·普京(Vladimir Putin)的峰会能让乌克兰战争停火吗?

　　显而易见的是，这次会议可能是普京影响特朗普关于如何结束战争的愿景的黄金机会。

　　许多观察人士，特别是俄罗斯人，认为这次会晤是特朗普允许普京再次欺骗他的标志。他们指出，特朗普以更严厉的制裁威胁俄罗斯，但相反，普京现在有一个峰会，他可以再次假装想要和平。他们认为这是普京的最新——也可能是非常成功的——策略，以化解特朗普对他的失望，阻止他对俄罗斯实施更严厉制裁的威胁。

　　但仍有一些迹象表明，这次会议可能会推动停火。有迹象表明，俄罗斯和乌克兰的立场差距至少略有缩小。

　　In Alaska, is Putin offering Trump peace or a trap?

　　Could President Donald Trump's summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin bring a ceasefire in the war in Ukraine?

　　What's clear is the meeting could be a golden opportunity for Putin to influence Trump's vision for how to end the war.

　　Many observers, particularly Russian, are dismissing the meeting as a sign Trump has allowed Putin to once again deceive him. They note that Trump threatened Russia with tougher sanctions, but instead, Putin now has a summit where he can once more pretend to want peace. They view this as Putin's latest -- and potentially very successful -- gambit to defuse Trump's frustration with him and head off his threat to impose tougher sanctions on Russia.

　　But there are still some glimmers that perhaps the meeting could move a ceasefire closer. There are indications that the gap between Russia and Ukraine's positions has at least slightly narrowed.
