Agreement reached to hold Putin-Trump meeting in coming days, Kremlin says
RUSSIA, AUG 9 – The summit aims to advance peace efforts on Ukraine as Trump and Putin prepare for talks after stalled negotiations and escalating sanctions, with venue agreed in principle, Kremlin said.
- Kremlin aide Yuri Ushakov announced on August 7 that US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin will meet in the coming days to discuss Ukraine.
- The meeting follows US envoy Steve Witkoff's constructive talks with Putin in Moscow on August 6 amid Trump’s August 8 ceasefire deadline and tariff threats against Russia.
- Despite repeated calls from Kyiv and Europe, Putin has resisted ceasefire offers and demands territorial concessions from Ukraine, while Zelenskyy renewed calls for direct leader-level talks on August 8.
- Trump stated there is a "good chance" he could meet Putin and Zelenskyy "very soon," with an agreement on the summit venue made "in principle" but no confirmed date or location yet.
- The summit may influence efforts to end the war, but analysts caution obstacles remain and it is unclear if the August 8 ceasefire deadline will change pending the meeting outcome.
