Trump greenlights Putin sit-down, even if Russian leader does not meet with Zelenskyy
WASHINGTON − President Donald Trump said he's willing to meet with Vladimir Putin, regardless of whether the Russian leader agrees to sit down with Ukraine's president to discuss an end to the war. "No, he doesn't. No, no. They would like to meet with me, and I'll do whatever I can to stop the killing," Trump told reporters in the Oval Office. The potential summit next week between Trump and Putin had hit a snag over Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's possible inclusion, prior to Trump's Aug. 7 declaration. More: Top Trump aide accuses India of financing Russia's war in Ukraine An aide to Putin said the Russian government agreed to and was preparing for a bilateral meeting with Trump. But a White House official stipulated that Putin must first agree to meet with Zelenskyy before a Trump sit-down can take place. Putin told reporters on Aug. 7 that he had "no objection" to meeting with Zelenskyy "in principle." Still, "certain conditions must be in place first. Unfortunately, we are still far from that point," the Russian leader said. Zelenskyy declared on social media: "Ukraine is not afraid of meetings and expects the same brave approach from the Russian side." More: Russia claims capture of Chasiv Yar in eastern Ukraine after 16-month battle The back-and-forth came after Trump special envoy Steve Witkoff met with Russian leaders in Moscow ahead of an Aug. 8 deadline for Putin's government to strike a peace deal with Ukraine or be hit with stiffer sanctions from the United States. Both nations described the conversations as constructive, though no immediate progress toward a peace deal appeared to be made. An initial round of economic punishments in the form of higher tariffs on India, a major purchaser of Russian oil, were announced this week, and U.S. officials have said more sanctions are on their way. Trump told reporters in the Oval Office on Aug. 7 that it would be up to Putin. "We're going to see what he has to say. It's going to be up to him. Very disappointed," Trump said of the sanctions deadline. Trump said on an Aug. 6 call with European leaders that he intended to meet both Putin and Zelenskyy, the the New York Times reported. Zelenskyy said he was also on the phone. NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte and Vice President JD Vance also participated in the call, sources familiar with the conversation said. Trump told reporters during an Aug. 6 event with Apple's CEO at the White House that "there's a very good prospect" Putin and Zelenskyy would agree to a summit. "I've been disappointed before with this one," Trump said. The last U.S. leader to meet with Putin was former President Joe Biden during a 2021 summit in Switzerland. Trump and Putin met in Finland in 2018. Both meetings took place before Russia war launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. No location has been set for the potential upcoming summit between Putin and Trump. Putin said on Aug. 7 that the United Arab Emirates had offered to host. Turkey hosted a previous round of negotiations between Russia and Ukraine that Zelenskyy challenged Putin to show up to in person in May. Trump said he'd come, too, if he thought it would help. None of the leaders ended up attending. The Kremlin said on Aug. 7 that while Witkoff mentioned a trilateral summit with Trump and Zelenskyy, "there was no specific discussion on this topic." "Our suggestion primarily focuses on preparing for a bilateral meeting with Donald Trump. It is our belief that ensuring this meeting is a success and yields tangible results is what matters most," Putin aide Yury Ushako said. The State Department referred questions to the White House. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said in a Fox Business interview on Aug. 6 that if talks progressed, an opportunity would hopefully "present itself very soon" for Trump to meet Putin and Zelenskyy "in the near future." "There's still many impediments to overcome," he said after Witkoff's Moscow meetings.

"The near future must show what the consequences will be if Russia continues to drag out the war and disrupt constructive efforts," he said in an X post after a call with French President Emmanuel Macron.

Trump and Putin will meet in Alaska next week, Trump says
President Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin are planning on meeting in Alaska, according to multiple sources familiar with the matter. Mr. Trump confirmed on Truth Social the meeting will take place in Alaska on Friday, August 15. One senior White House official told CBS News the planning for next Friday's summit is still fluid, and that it is still possible that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy could end up being involved in some way. The White House said earlier this week that Mr. Trump is open to meeting with both Putin and Zelenskyy, but Mr. Trump suggested Friday he may start by just meeting with Putin, telling reporters he plans to "start off with Russia." Mr. Trump also said he believes "we have a shot at" organizing a trilateral meeting with the Ukrainian and Russian leaders. The expected meeting comes as Mr. Trump presses Putin to strike a ceasefire deal with Ukraine. It would be the first face-to-face meeting between Putin and an American leader since former President Joe Biden met with his Russian counterpart in Switzerland in June 2021, eight months before Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Friday, August 8, is the Trump-imposed deadline for Putin to either cut a ceasefire deal with Ukraine or face hefty sanctions targeting the Russian economy, including possible secondary sanctions on countries that do business with Russia. Mr. Trump imposed 50% tariffs on Indian goods earlier this week, in part because India buys oil from Russia. The status of those additional sanctions is unclear. Mr. Trump has grown frustrated with Putin in recent weeks, as Russia has continued to pummel Ukrainian cities with drone and missile attacks. Mr. Trump has described some of his recent phone calls with the Russian president as disappointing. The Trump administration's tone has appeared to shift in recent days. Mr. Trump's envoy, Steve Witkoff, met with Putin in Moscow for hours on Wednesday, which the U.S. president described as "very productive." The White House and the Kremlin later indicated they were open to a Putin-Trump summit. The president told reporters Friday: "President Putin, I believe, wants to see peace, and Zelenskyy wants to see peace." But the actual terms of any possible peace deal remain unclear. Russia's military occupies large swaths of eastern Ukraine, including both territories that it has captured since 2022 and ones that it annexed in a lower-intensity conflict that began in 2014. Russian leadership has indicated in the past that it wants Ukraine to withdraw its own forces from much of the country's east — possibly including areas that Russia hasn't even captured — and to end its longstanding push to join NATO. Zelenskyy has pushed back on those demands. Mr. Trump said Friday he expects "some swapping of territories" between Russia and Ukraine. The U.S. president has blamed both Zelenskyy and Putin at various points for slow progress on a ceasefire deal. Mr. Trump publicly argued with Zelenskyy in the Oval Office earlier this year, and he claimed Zelenskyy was prolonging the conflict by refusing to cede the Crimean peninsula to Russia. The Trump administration has also paused military assistance to Ukraine at least twice, before restoring the aid shipments.
