US EditionPutin Taps Key Allies Ahead of Trump Summit, Sanctions Deadline
DMITROVSKY DISTRICT, MOSCOW OBLAST, AUG 8 – The summit aims to address the Ukraine conflict amid a U.S. deadline for Russia to halt its offensive or face new sanctions targeting key trading partners.
- Russian President Vladimir Putin held consultations with China and India on August 8, 2025, ahead of a planned summit with U.S. President Donald Trump and a sanctions deadline.
- This came after U.S. President Trump set a Friday deadline for Russia to end its military actions in Ukraine, warning that failure to do so would result in additional economic sanctions aimed at Moscow’s main trading allies.
- Despite multiple calls from the U.S., Europe, and Kyiv for a ceasefire and peace talks, including from Ukrainian President Zelensky who remains open to agreements, Putin has resisted and ruled out talks with Zelensky at this stage.
- Xi Jinping expressed support for a political settlement while Modi thanked Putin for updates on Ukraine developments, and Trump stated, "It's going to be up to Putin" and, "We're going to see what he has to say."
- The summit and approaching deadline could impact future diplomatic initiatives, but so far, negotiations have not produced significant progress, leaving the prospects for peace uncertain.
