But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. For if we BELIEVE that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with Him. For this we say unto you by the Word of the LORD, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the LORD shall not prevent them which are asleep. For the LORD Himself shall descend from Heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the Trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the LORD in the air: and so shall we ever be with the LORD. 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18

Putin taps ear and shrugs when asked whether he would stop ‘killing civilians’

ANCHORAGE, Alaska – Russian President Vladimir Putin has been pressed twice by reporters during his high-stakes summit with President Donald Trump in Alaska on whether he would commit to stopping the killing of civilians.

“President Putin, will you stop killing civilians?” a reporter asked Putin on Friday after Trump and Putin shook hands on the tarmac of Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson in Anchorage.

TRUMP AND PUTIN START ‘HIGH-STAKES’ IN-PERSON MEETING TO END RUSSIA-UKRAINE WAR

Putin, who speaks English, tapped his ear and shrugged, signaling he could not hear or understand.

Trump and Putin then stepped into the presidential limousine, known as The Beast, accompanied only by a driver and Secret Service agent for the short commute to the summit site elsewhere on the base, and were captured on camera laughing in the back seat.

Once at the summit site, against a background of United States and Russian flags, in addition to a banner emblazoned with the words “Pursuing Peace,” Putin was asked the same question. This time, he seemed to respond, but his reaction was impossible to hear over the cacophony of the chaos in the room.

Trump and Putin are now scheduled to take part in a three-on-three meeting attended by Secretary of State Marco Rubio, U.S. Special Envoy Steve Witkoff, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, and Russian foreign policy aide Yury Ushakov, addressing critics’ concerns regarding Trump being alone in a room with Putin, a former Russian intelligence officer.

After the meeting, the group of six is expected to be expanded for a sit-down lunch before an anticipated joint press conference, including Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, and White House chief of staff Susie Wiles.

The summit is being held under the pretense of discussing Putin’s three-year war in Ukraine, but the Russian has indicated his preference for the conversation to also touch on economic issues and a nuclear arms treaty.
