Trump to meet Putin in coming days, Kremlin says
A meeting in the coming days between Russian President Vladimir Putin and US President Donald Trump has been agreed on, the Kremlin said. Mr Putin's foreign affairs adviser Yuri Ushakov said the two sides are working on setting it up, and that a venue for the meeting has been agreed on and will be announced later. It comes as a new Gallup poll found that Ukrainians are increasingly eager for a settlement that ends the fight against Russia's invasion. A meeting between the two presidents would be their first since Mr Trump returned to office this year. It would be a significant milestone in the more than three-year-old war, though there is no promise such a meeting would lead to the end of the fighting, since Russia and Ukraine remain far apart on their demands.
