Trump Declares Plans for Imminent Discussions with Putin and Encounters with European Leaders
In a series of statements, US President Donald Trump has announced plans to hold talks with Russian leader Vladimir Putin in the coming days, as tensions between the two nations escalate over the ongoing Ukraine crisis.
Trump has previously expressed his belief that the situation between Russia and Ukraine will be resolved, but has also stated that he is not happy with Russia's attacks. His administration is reportedly ready to proceed to the second stage of sanctions against Russia.
Overnight on Sunday, Russia conducted a major air strike, targeting over 800 drones. This marked a significant escalation in the conflict, as for the first time, a government building in Kyiv was struck during this air strike.
The exact content of the planned talks between Trump and Putin remains unclear, with no additional details provided. However, according to the Kremlin, the meeting is scheduled to take place on August 15, 2025, at 11:30 a.m. local time in Alaska. The conversation will be followed by a working meeting with their delegations and a press conference.
As the situation in Ukraine continues to deteriorate, European leaders are expected to visit the White House early in the week. The visit comes as both the US and Europe grapple with how to respond to Russia's actions in the region.
Trump has previously mentioned a conversation with Putin "in the near future," and has also stated that he plans to hold talks with the Russian leader "very soon." As the two leaders prepare to meet, the world watches with bated breath, hoping for a resolution to the ongoing crisis.
