US EditionAgreement reached to hold Putin-Trump meeting in coming days, Kremlin says
RUSSIA, AUG 7 – The planned summit aims to address peace efforts amid stalled negotiations while a Gallup poll finds about 7 in 10 Ukrainians want a negotiated settlement soon.
- On Thursday, the Kremlin said a meeting in the coming days between Russian President Vladimir Putin and U.S. President Donald Trump has been agreed, their first since Trump returned to office this year.
- Yuri Ushakov noted that a venue for the meeting has been agreed and will be announced later, following the American side's suggestion and Putin's foreign adviser statement.
- A Gallup poll found about 7 in 10 Ukrainians support seeking a settlement, with over 12,000 civilians killed since the war began, according to the United Nations.
- Observers note there’s no promise the summit would end fighting since Russia and Ukraine remain far apart, as Putin has offered no concessions and Western officials accuse him of stalling negotiations.
- Next week is the target date for the summit, though no date is confirmed, and it would be the first US–Russia leadership meeting since June 2021, the Kremlin said.
