President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin are reportedly set for their first high-level meeting since Trump began his second term, following a proposed agreement to hold the dialogue. According to the Kremlin’s foreign affairs adviser, Yuri Ush, the meeting has been tentatively agreed upon at the highest level. The potential meeting has been suggested by the U.S. side, and the Russian delegation is expressing its commitment to a productive dialogue on the matter.
Trump has been actively working to facilitate an end to the Russia-Ukraine war, which has been ongoing for several years. His efforts have included recent meetings with his Special Envoy, Steve Witkoff, who has been coordinating with Putin on matters related to the conflict. Trump’s recent post on Truth Social highlighted the progress made in these discussions, stating that the meeting with Putin had been ‘highly productive,’ despite the absence of a formal ceasefire agreement.
The potential meeting between Trump and Putin is expected to take place soon, following the completion of the recent discussions. The administration’s commitment to ending the war has been underscored by statements from key officials, including White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt, who emphasized the willingness of both sides to engage in meaningful dialogue.
