Putin and Trump to convene within the imminent future, as per Kremlin's announcement
The Kremlin representative, Yuri Ushakov, has announced that a bilateral summit between President Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump is set for August 15, 2025, in Alaska[1][2]. This will be the first meeting between the two leaders since Trump's re-election in 2024 and their first formal summit since 2019.
The venue for the meeting has been agreed upon, although the exact location has not been disclosed. The details about the meeting, including its exact date, will be announced later.
Regarding a trilateral meeting involving Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, Trump has stated that it is not necessary for Putin to meet with Zelensky. He emphasized that both sides need to make concessions, but suggested the initial focus will be on the bilateral meeting between the U.S. and Russia. There is no confirmation that a trilateral meeting including Zelensky has been agreed upon[1][2].
The American side proposed the idea of the summit, with the US Presidential Envoy, Steve Whitcoff, discussing the idea of a trilateral meeting between Putin, Trump, and Zelensky during his talks with Vladimir Putin on August 6. However, the details about the proposed trilateral meeting, including its venue and exact date, are still under discussion.
Both Russian and American sides are currently working on the specific details of the meeting. The summit between Putin and Trump is scheduled to take place in the near future, although it's unclear how many days the preparations will take, with holding the meeting within the next week being considered[1][2].
