Russian President Vladimir Putin has laid a wreath at a cemetery in Alaska dedicated to Soviet pilots who died in World War II.

After the summit with Donald Trump, Putin visited a cemetery in Alaska where eleven Soviet servicemen, mostly pilots, who died between 1942-1945, are buried. He laid a bouquet of red roses at each grave, highlighting the Russian cultural heritage in America, including Orthodox churches and geographical names of Russian origin. The visit came in the context of a four-hour stay on American soil.
