Trump will meet Putin even if Russian leader refuses to meet Zelenskyy
- On August 7, 2025, US President Donald Trump announced his willingness to hold talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin regardless of whether Putin agrees to engage with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
- This announcement follows Kremlin statements that Putin is open to meeting Zelenskyy only under specific conditions and with a peace agreement near, but both sides remain far apart.
- Preparations for a bilateral Trump-Putin summit are underway, with Russia agreeing to a meeting and the UAE reportedly offering to host, though no final venue has been confirmed.
- Trump said there is "a very good prospect" for a summit and expressed disappointment over sanctions deadlines, while a top aide threatened 100% secondary tariffs if no ceasefire deal occurs.
- The potential summit could mark the first US-Russia high-level talks since 2021 and suggests a possible shift in diplomatic efforts amid mounting pressure around an August 8 sanctions deadline.
