Kremlin Confirms Putin-Trump Summit Imminent Amid Ukraine Peace Efforts

The Kremlin announced today, August 7, 2025, that Russian President Vladimir Putin has agreed to a summit with U.S. President Donald Trump, expected to take place ‘in the coming days.’ While no specific date or location has been confirmed, the highly anticipated meeting aims to facilitate an end to Russia’s ongoing military assault on Ukraine.

The announcement follows a ‘highly productive’ meeting yesterday between Putin and White House special envoy Steve Witkoff, as described by President Trump on social media. Trump has set an August 8 deadline for Moscow to agree to a ceasefire, threatening severe sanctions, including on Russian fossil fuel exports, if the deadline is not met.

Putin’s advisor, Yuri Ushakov, indicated that work on the summit has begun and suggested the United Arab Emirates as a potential venue. This would mark the first meeting between a sitting U.S. and Russian president since June 2021, underscoring the urgency of de-escalating the conflict.
