Next Friday, August 15, U.S. President Donald Trump will hold a meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin in the U.S. state of Alaska. This encounter comes amidst ongoing tensions between Ukraine and Russia, and despite no recent confirmed developments about a direct meeting specifically concerning the Ukraine war.

Trump has expressed a desire to engage with Putin, aiming to discuss ending the conflict. However, he has also signalled a tough stance, warning Russia of severe consequences if it continues its aggression. The exact conditions and details of the meeting are yet to be clarified [1].

The core issues under negotiation for a possible peace agreement between Russia and Ukraine include Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, security guarantees, sanctions relief for Russia, demilitarization or neutral status of Ukraine, withdrawal of Russian troops, and reparations or compensation discussions [1].

The meeting between Trump and Putin is taking place despite uncertainty about a potential meeting between Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, as certain conditions for a peaceful resolution to the Ukraine conflict have not yet been met. The Kremlin has stated that agreements at the expert level on a peaceful resolution must be met before any high-level talks can occur [1].

Trump's announcement comes as he let the deadline for imposing new sanctions on Russia pass. New tariffs on India for its oil deals with Moscow were imposed by Trump, with more sanctions set to take effect on August 27 [1].

The Kremlin has confirmed the meeting and invited Trump to Russia afterward. U.S. special envoy Steve Witkoff has spoken with Putin for the fifth time, and the exchange was described as constructive by the Kremlin [1].

Trump has emphasized the need for direct talks between Moscow and Kyiv at the highest level. It is not yet clear what such an exchange might look like or which territories would be affected in the peace agreement [1].
