Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov assessed potential future discussions with the United States
Russian President Vladimir Putin has announced plans for international negotiations on September 17, 2025. The announcement was made during a conversation with media representatives by Dmitriy Peskov, Putin's press secretary.
The negotiations may include potential bilateral meetings with U.S. President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky. The possibility of these meetings arises after a constructive meeting between Putin and Trump in Alaska on August 15. During this meeting, Trump mentioned an agreement on "many points" of Ukrainian issues.
However, the report does not specify any specific topics to be discussed during the international negotiations. Furthermore, the report does not mention any other leaders or countries that might be involved in these negotiations, nor does it provide any information about the location where the discussions will take place.
Meanwhile, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov expressed hope for additional contacts with the U.S. to resolve the Ukrainian crisis. Lavrov stated that during the Anchorage meeting, the U.S. parted agreeing on the logic pushed by Donald Trump. He also noted that Trump did not refute the Russian position but promised consultations with allies.
Interestingly, Lavrov mentioned that Putin invited Trump for a meeting in Russia. However, the report does not indicate whether Trump or Zelensky have confirmed their participation in the negotiations or meetings.
In a separate development, a conference on the situation in Palestine was announced to be chaired by French President Emmanuel Macron and Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman ahead of the annual UN General Assembly debate. This conference is scheduled for the same day as Putin's announced negotiations.
Despite the lack of details in the report, the announcement of these international negotiations has sparked interest and anticipation, particularly given the recent constructive meeting between Putin and Trump in Alaska. The report does not specify any timeline for the announcement of more details about the negotiations or meetings.
