US President Donald Trump is pushing for a trilateral summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy as early as 22 August, according to Axios.
The proposal follows Trump’s summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Anchorage, Alaska on Friday - their first meeting since Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. It was also Putin’s first visit to the U.S. for presidential talks since 2007.
According to sources briefed on the call, Trump informed European leaders that he wanted to convene a trilateral session involving Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. Trump is due to meet Zelenskyy at the White House on Monday and has invited European leaders to join the talks.
While Trump said he and Putin made “some headway” during their Alaska discussions, he admitted that no agreement had yet been reached to end the conflict in Ukraine. However, Putin described the outcome of their meeting as an “understanding”.
The Kremlin has not confirmed whether Putin will attend the proposed three-way summit.
