Historic Summit Ahead: Putin and Trump to Meet for Major Talks

The Kremlin announced on Thursday that Russian President Vladimir Putin and US President Donald Trump have agreed to meet in the coming days. This significant encounter, brokered by Putin's foreign affairs adviser Yuri Ushakov, marks the first meeting of the leaders since Trump's return to office this year.

The planned summit is seen as a pivotal moment in more than three years of tension due to the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war. Despite the importance of the meeting, there is no assurance that it will bring a halt to the hostilities, given the continued disparities in demands between Russia and Ukraine.

While a venue has been settled on for this historic summit, details remain under wraps, with an official announcement expected shortly.
