Sky’s US correspondent Martha Kelner has been reporting from Alaska in the build-up to the summit.<\/p>\n

In a green, timber-framed house, she met Meg Leonard – a one-time Republican who describes herself as a “never Trumper”.<\/p>\n

On a tree in her front garden, the Ukrainian flag hangs. <\/p>\n

She bought it after watching Zelenskyy’s disastrous meeting with Trump in the Oval Office in February on TV.<\/p>\n

“I think he was denigrating the president of Ukraine, and that is not good,” she says.<\/p>\n

“Right after that, I ordered the flag and hung it up because I support Ukraine. Putin should not be allowed to take land that is not his.<\/p>\n

“I think Donald Trump thinks he’s a strongman and that Putin should capitulate to him.<\/p>\n

“I don’t think Putin has any intention of doing that.”<\/p>\n

Meg says she is appalled that this meeting is taking place one-on-one without Ukraine’s president. <\/p>\n

Trump has said that Vlodymyr Zelenskyy will be invited to any follow-up meeting.<\/p>\n

“Trump should not be making decisions for Ukraine,” Meg says.<\/p>\n

“Zelenskyy should at least have a voice in what is being decided. It is his country and his people.<\/p>\n

“Putin’s going to be five miles from here. He’s not welcome by me. <\/p>\n

“He is an international criminal; he should be arrested. He is killing women and children, and people in hospitals.”<\/p>\n

‘These two guys have the ultimate egos’<\/b><\/p>\n

But you don’t have to go far in Alaska to find a contrasting view.<\/p>\n

In Whittier, a port town mostly home to fishermen, boat operators and tourists, wildlife photographer Tim Colley from New York thinks Trump is an underestimated dealmaker. <\/p>\n

He’s not concerned about Zelenskyy’s absence from the summit.<\/p>\n

“I think Trump truly wants peace,” Tim tells Kelner. “At some point in time, you’ve got to decide how many more people need to die. <\/p>\n

“Does Zelenskyy want to just keep throwing people into the fire?<\/p>\n

“I think these two guys [Trump and Putin] have probably the ultimate egos in the world. <\/p>\n

“I’m not sure Zelenskyy’s got the self-control to tread lightly on those egos.”<\/p>\n
